How is our glass created?
Date Added: 17-04-2023
We don't even realize how often we encounter glass on a daily basis. It surrounds us literally everywhere and practically all day long. When we drink tea in the morning looking out the window, when we sit down to our afternoon coffee at work, and also when someone gives us a surprise and brings us fresh flowers to put in a vase. In various forms, glass is with us all the time, but have you ever wondered how it is made and how many people work to make sure we have at least one decanter or set of glasses at home? If not, then today we would like to invite you to our magical glass world.
Next to each product, you will encounter simplified descriptions of production methods in our online store, which we will explain very briefly below. We could do it in detail, but it would take several very long books....
In the simplest terms, we can divide our products into those described as:
Handmade/ art glass, Fusing, Automatic / Semi-automatic
and what does this mean in practice?
An interesting method of creating glass masterpieces, for example, is fusing, which involves combining in a special oven, melted pieces of glass into a single unit, thus creating entirely new forms.
It can be said that, in contrast to automated production, each artisan has a soul, because at each product there are glassworkers who put an enormous amount of hard work and patience into forming the glass. It is they who, standing by the huge, gushing heat of the ovens from which they remove the liquid glass mass by blowing into the pipe (the tube used to blow the glass), make this hot mass begin to take shape as we know it. And this is just the beginning of the path that the glass product goes through, because later more people take care of each product individually and cut, grind, check... so that in the end the glass decorations or tableware make it to our home.
Therefore, each product is unique and will never be every millimeter the same. There will always be a little difference. With handmade artwork, it may be a slightly different height, shape, and certainly the distribution of color. That's why this glass is so beautiful and unique.
Let's appreciate, then, the work of glassworkers and others working on our glass, because while we are relaxing with our family over a piece of cake, they are working hard for us to have something to serve it on.
And this is how our wonders are created:
