“Double-colour” cut glass, Satsuma Kiriko cut glass

One of the appealing qualities of Shimadzu Satsuma Kiriko is its vibrant colours. In addition to the traditional six colours of scarlet, indigo, green, yellow, gold red and Shimadzu purple, a new series of “double-colour” cut glass was introduced in 2001. The combining of two different colours marked a new beginning for Shimadzu Satsuma Kiriko. In 2015, the year of the 30th anniversary since Satsuma Kiriko was successfully reproduced, a monochrome series “Ink Black” and milky white “Opal” were also added.
