The result is a two-layer structure with colored glass on the outside and clear glass on the inside.
Edo Kirikokan (江戸切子館) is a gallery shop for Edo Kiriko cut glass. Edo Kirikokan produces in its own cutting studio attached to the gallery and also represents a group of independent craftsmen. It is run by the Hirota family, which is in the glass business since 1899. 
HIROTA GLASS was founded back in 1899 as a glassware tableware store in Tokyo. About fifteen years later they started to actually produce Kiriko cut glasses, making a foundation for their core business today.
Hirota Glass has over time established itself as a pioneer in the Japanese Handmade Glassware industry and has become well known and awarded for their signature style; combining European traditional glassmaking techniques with Japanese traditional post-war designs.
