| Glass manufacturing begins with the selection of raw materials. From quartz sand, soda ash, chalk, potassium nitrate and salt-cake we get environmentally friendly organic glass (without lead impurities.) | In the same workshop glass is recycled for further usage. |
A furnace bringing the glass to a temperature of 1200⁰С
The first stage: blowing of a bowl. The material is gathered on a metal pipe.
Molten glass is prepared in a formold.
To blowing in a glass mold.
At a temperature of approximately 900°C, the molten glass is blown into a mold made of iron or wood.
Hand blowing using a pipe.
In principle, little has changed in the technology since the "invention" of the glass-blowing pipe approximately two thousand years ago.
After the blowing glass still at approximately 500°C, is placed in the annealing furnace for cooling to room temperature.
Quality control. Specialists proceed with examining, whose experience and professional intuition allow selecting only high-quality items.
Decoration: with gold and hand painting.
The decoration process demands accuracy of motions and creativeness of an every worker.
Each item is examined thoroughly, attention is paid to the smallest detail.
The packaging. Soon the glass items will go away in different directions, will find their owners to deliver them warmth of hands and part of soul of each workman.
