History of Japanese  Glass

The Satsuma kiriko was created by glass craftsmen from Edo (now Tokyo) under the auspices of Shimazu Narioki (1791-1859).

In Nagasaki, foreign books were used as a model for our manufacturing methods. It was introduced by Shimazu Nariakira, the son of Narioki, into his Shuseikan Enterprise, manufacturing steel, textiles, and other goods through its factories.

Craftsmanship was excellent in the cut glass.

She sent several of them as gifts to other feudal lords and was extremely fond of them. As a result of financial hardships, damage to the factory caused during the bombardment of Kagoshima, and disruptions during the Satsuma Rebellion, the manufacture of Satsuma kiriko was discontinued during the early Meiji period.

Tokyo and Osaka became the centers of craftsmen and skills. Since Satsuma kiriko was only produced a few times back then, they command high prices as antiques.( Source)
