Japanese Hoya Crystal Putter

Brand new and unboxed, this rare Japanese Hoya crystal glass putter is a true collector’s gem! Crafted with precision and elegance, it’s a stunning fusion of art and performance — and it even comes with a sleek protective cover to keep it pristine.

The HOYA label stipulates that the putter is over 24% PbO identifying it to be full lead crystal. Such high lead content gives the glass exceptional brilliance, clarity and a distinctive sparkle. It is often used in high-quality glassware, such as decanters, whisky glasses and other decorative items. HOYA terminated its Crystal business in 2009, which may well have enhanced the value and rarity of the putter.
