Glassware Use and Care

Definition of Glass:

There are 3 types of glass we use. Boro-silicate glass, lead free crystal glass and machine made soda lime glass.

Boro-silicate are used in teapots, jugs and has very good thermo-stability. You can fire them as they are test tube glasses. Their clarity is amazingly transparent as well. They are usually thinner as well.

Crystal glass has good clarity, and bending ability so they are used to manufacture our wine glass, carafe and stemware. They are not heat proof and due to its thickness, handwashing is recommended.

Soda Lime Glass, are mostly silica. They are not heat proof, but would be good enough to handle hot drinks. They are not flame proof but due to the thickness they are sturdy, consistent and durable.

Dishwasher:

You can wash all glasses in dishwasher, but sometimes they break inside because they are hit by other crockery. Make sure they are secure in the dishwasher. In some industrial dishwasher they wash pressure is high and might cause wares to bounce against each other. In those case, we recommend hand wash.

Raw Materials:

the glass consist of locally sourced silica, and they are fired in clean energy in natural gas. The clay are all natural materials so they might range from batch to batch, although we try our best to control the consistency scientifically. We also recycle our own water usage to reduce waste to minimum.

Twisted Glass:

Handling: Handle glassware with care. Avoid sudden temperature changes as extreme hot or cold might cause breakage. Hold glasses by the stem or base to prevent unnecessary pressure on the bowl.
Cleaning: Hand wash or use a dishwasher on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that might scratch the glass surface. Rinse thoroughly to remove any detergent residue. Put them separate from other materials in dishwasher.
Storage: Store glassware upright to prevent chipping or breakage. Avoid stacking tightly on many layers.
Bubbles: Machine-made glass may contain small bubbles, which are a natural occurrence and do not compromise quality.
Usage: Suitable for both hot and cold beverages. Avoid using glassware for purposes other than intended.
