A Satsuma-kiriko cut-glass goblet, Edo period, 19th century | 薩摩切子藍色被脚付杯　江戸時代後期　19世紀

Satsuma-kiriko was a highly innovative and popular product of the Satsuma Domain (present-day Kagoshima Prefecture) during the late Edo period (1615-1868). Production began in 1849 but lasted for only about thirty years, declining after the death of its chief patron, Shimazu Nariakira (1809–1858) and the subsequent collapse of the local glass industry. The design of this goblet reflects strong European influence. Its square foot, for instance, recalls forms seen in 18^th century English rummers and salts, and the style of cutting was fashionable across Europe from the early 19^th century onward. The hexagonal pattern, known in Japan as kikko (tortoise shell), corresponds to what is called a hobnail pattern in European glassware. Within each hexagon, the fine diamond details are sometimes referred to as strawberry diamond cutting. The use of coloured glass overlay is more typical of Central European styles, with precedents found in Bohemia, Russia, Belgium, and France.

薩摩切子乃江戶末期薩摩藩（今鹿兒島縣）極具創新性且廣受歡迎的製品。其生產始於1849年，僅維持約三十年光景，隨其主要贊助者島津齊彬（1809-1858年）逝世與當地玻璃產業沒落而式微。此高腳盃設計展現濃厚歐洲影響：其方形底座延續18世紀英國朗姆酒盃與鹽皿的形制，其刻花風格自19世紀初風行歐洲。此六角形紋樣於日本稱為「龜甲紋」，對應歐洲玻璃器所稱「冰釘紋」（hobnail pattern）。每個六角形單元內的精細菱形刻紋，時稱「草莓菱形刻花」。至若套色玻璃工藝之運用，則更常見於中歐風格，可溯至波希米亞、俄羅斯、比利時與法國等地淵源。
