Decorative Glass: A Safe Choice
The decorative glassware industry is plagued by frequent heavy metal migration exceeding standards, particularly in decorative glassware with decorative elements like decals and embossing. This is particularly true for decorative glassware with surface pigments containing lead and cadmium, which can leach out and pose health risks. This has led to numerous EU notifications, product destruction, and substantial claims. You may be concerned about the aesthetic appeal of your home, but also the safety risks of household glassware that comes into contact with lips or holds acidic foods.
Our solution is based on innovative safety processes:
Upgraded decorative techniques: High-temperature sintering of glazes and lead-resistant coatings ensures a secure adhesion of decals, resulting in lead and cadmium migration levels far below EU standards (lead <0.8mg/dm², cadmium <0.07mg/dm²).
Functional design: The corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability of laboratory glassware are applied to household glassware, enhancing safety. Remarkable results: Decorative glasses, vases, and more combine crystal-clear beauty with safe drinking experience. Tested to withstand temperatures up to 300°C and acidic environments, they're dishwasher-safe and provide long-lasting protection for family health.
Features:
Lead-free glaze: The decorative layer is >2cm from the rim, resulting in near-zero heavy metal release.
Borosilicate material: Resistant to thermal shock, with strength comparable to laboratory equipment.
Versatile: Serves as a vase, candlestick, or storage container, allowing for light and brightening.
Tips:
Cleaning pitfalls: Avoid acidic or alkaline detergents. Soften grease with hot vinegar and plastic wrap before wiping.
Safety: When serving hot drinks or acidic foods, choose vessels with no decorative detail on the lip area.
