HIROTA GLASS

Founded in Tokyo in 1899, Hirota Glass is one of the pioneers of Japanese glassware, and one of the oldest glass tableware makers still active in the city today.
 
 The brand grew alongside the development of glassmaking in Japan, gradually blending European techniques with Japanese sensitivity and craftsmanship. This balance shaped a distinct style that continues to define Hirota Glass today.
 
 While staying true to classic designs and production methods passed down since the pre-war period, the brand continues to refine its craft, allowing each piece to carry both tradition and quiet evolution.
 Based in Sumida, a part of Tokyo where traces of craftsmanship still remain, Hirota Glass works with a simple belief that good things from the past can continue to exist in everyday life.
 
 For Hirota Glass, glassmaking is not just about making objects, but about preserving techniques, passing them on, and allowing them to take shape again in the present.
