This elegant bakushu zoroi 麦酒揃 set, comprising five matching glasses, it is a refined example of mid-century Japanese glassware, crafted by 亀井ガラス (Kamei Glass), a maker known for its quality decorative glass pieces. Housed in its original wooden presentation box, the set reflects both craftsmanship and the tradition of thoughtful gift-giving.
Each glass features a softly frosted body adorned with a delicate 桔梗 (kikyō, bellflower) motif in gentle shades of crimson and pink. The kikyō, long admired in Japanese culture, symbolizes elegance, sincerity, and enduring beauty—bringing a poetic, seasonal touch to the design.
The contrast between the frosted lower half and the clear upper rim creates a pleasing visual balance, while the slightly flared form enhances both grip and drinking experience—ideal for serving beer, light cocktails, or chilled beverages.
Condition-wise, three glasses remain in excellent vintage condition with crisp, well-preserved motifs. The remaining two show visible fading to the decoration due to age, adding a subtle wabi-sabi character. The pricing has been thoughtfully adjusted to reflect this, offering a complete boxed set at a fair value.
A charming and practical addition to any Japanese tableware collection, or a thoughtful gift for lovers of vintage glass and seasonal floral design.
