Glass composition
What makes a perfect crystal glass?
The degree to which a glass can offer all of these benefits depends to a great extent on the type of glass used and the characteristics of the ingredients.
Standard Glass consist of sand, lime (an alkaline earth oxide), Sodium or Potassium oxides. SPIEGELAU Crystal glass has the same ingredients plus a certain percentage of metaloxide. These ingredients will be melted at approx. 1500°C and in later steps formed to the desired product.
SPIEGELAU glasses are all made of lead free Crystal glass. The highest quality of the Crystal ingredients make the Spiegelau products more durable, dishwasher safe, break resistant and also more brilliant than other glasses made with cheaper glass compositions.
The Class of Glass
Glass is a fascinating material. Not only does it fulfil a practical purpose but there are so many other ways in which glass enriches our life. It is brilliant, it reflects and refracts light and has a satisfying sound when glasses are clinked.
Still further, specific glass shapes and a high quality glass surface, through the use of pure raw materials, enhance the aromas and taste of beverages.
