TACHIKICHI cold sake set - rare blue glass sake bottle and sake cups with wave and plover design

TACHIKICHI is a prestigious Japanese tableware brand established in 1752, known for its refined ceramics and glassware that blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern sensibility.

Nami Chidori (wave and plover) is a classic Japanese pattern representing harmony between nature's elements, often used in sake ware to evoke coastal landscapes and the beauty of seabirds in flight.

The plover (chidori) is a beloved motif in Japanese art, symbolizing autumn and elegance, frequently depicted skimming over waves in traditional designs.

Blue glass sake ware became popular during the Meiji and Taisho periods as artisans experimented with Western glassmaking techniques while maintaining Japanese design principles.

The gradient blue coloring in this set mimics the depths of water, enhancing the visual experience of serving cold sake and creating a cooling aesthetic perfect for summer enjoyment.
