What makes high-quality glass? What should you pay attention to when buying glass tableware? How does the quality of glassware affect the comfort of daily use? You will find the answers to these questions in our guide.
Aesthetics and longevity
Tableware is an element of home equipment that you use regularly – a glass of water, juice, or tea is one of the first things you reach for after waking up. A wine glass, on the other hand, accompanies you during evening moments of relaxation, as well as during family dinners or dinners with friends. The aesthetic qualities of glass should therefore go hand in hand with its functionality and durability. In this text, we advise you on how to choose glass dishes that will be pleasing to the eye and will serve you for many years.
Quality guarantee
Glass is inherently a fragile material – but the higher the quality of the raw materials used in the production process, the greater the chances that the dishes will impress not only with their shape and appearance, but also with their durability and functionality. When buying glasses, wine glasses, beer mugs, and other tableware elements, it is worth choosing products from a proven, trustworthy manufacturer. KROSNO is certainly such a company, perfecting glass production technology for almost 100 years. The company was founded in 1923 and is currently one of the largest manufacturers of utility glass in Poland. KROSNO products are also appreciated beyond the country's borders – we export our products to over sixty countries. Our company's offer includes catering glass for a wide range of applications: wine glasses for various types of alcohol, tumblers, mugs, plates, platters, jugs, bowls, cups, dessert bowls, salad bowls, and candle holders. In the production plants located in Krosno, artisanal tradition is combined with modern solutions. The entire production process is supervised by qualified glassblowers and glaziers, who, already at the design stage, emphasize that our dishes should stand out from the competition with their functionality and the highest quality of workmanship. All this means that KROSNO products impress with their aesthetic workmanship, and at the same time are characterized by durability, longevity, and resistance to damage.
Crystalline glass
KROSNO Crystalline glass dishes are characterized by increased strength – they are resistant to tarnishing, scratches, chipping, and other mechanical damage. Importantly, they can also be safely washed in a dishwasher. Thanks to these properties, even intensively used dishes will serve you for a long time. In the case of Crystalline glass, durability goes hand in hand with aesthetics. The glass effectively disperses light and has ideal transparency. Wine glasses made of Crystalline glass will allow you to fully appreciate the color of the drink you are consuming. Importantly, no heavy metals, such as lead, which is harmful to health, are used in its production.
Technology matters
When choosing dishes for the kitchen, it is also worth paying attention to the production technology used to create them. It has a significant impact on the aesthetics and durability of the dishes. In KROSNO glassworks, two glass production methods are used: automatic and manual. How do they differ?
Automatic glass production is based on the use of modern, precise machines – this significantly speeds up the process of manufacturing dishes. This method allows many identical copies to be produced in a short time, which is why it is used for manufacturing everyday dishes, such as tumblers, some decanters, or wine glasses.
The art of glass production
The manual production technique, on the other hand, is used in the creation of exclusive tableware lines, which are produced in limited editions. The production process involves an entire team of craftsmen and specialists, including designers, glaziers, glassblowers, grinders, and engravers. The result of their work is subtle and elegant dishes. Hand-made glass is characterized by the highest quality, transparency, and shine. Manual production also allows for the use of refined decorations. Importantly, no two hand-made dishes are identical – each one is unique, and individual pieces differ from each other in barely perceptible details. Hand-made products allow you to experience life more beautifully, regardless of the occasion.
