The Glassware Buying Guide

Whether you’re celebrating special occasions with champagne, relaxing with a refreshing cocktail or looking for your new favourite latte glass, the salt&pepper glass collection has the perfect solution for you.

But which glass is best? Our glassware buying guide is here for you so you can always choose the right option!

Crystalline Glass.

Known for its elegant and sophisticated nature, crystalline is a subset of glass that contains different minerals that result in a clearer, stronger and lighter material than ordinary glass.

Used for our Salut collection, crystalline allows for a thinner glass, perfect for ensuring every sip of wine is seamless. With shapes created specifically for red wine, burgundy, white wine, and celebratory champagne and prosecco, the Salut collection is perfect for the wine connoisseur that appreciates the finer touch.

Soda Lime Glass.

The most common type of glass used in homewares, soda lime is made from silica, soda and lime. Drinking glasses are the most common glasses made from soda lime glass with shorter tumblers and highballs the most popular shape.

A versatile glass, soda lime glass is also used in matching decanters (like our Richie) where vertical details add an elegant look.

Machine Made Glass.

Ideal for hosting at home and less expensive to replace if there’s sudden breakages, machine made glass is perfect for cocktails and parties. Produced in large volumes, machine made glass tends to be a bit thicker than crystalline or soda lime glass.

This thicker effect allows for additional textural looks – shown to perfection in our Winston collection. The sturdiness of Winston makes it the ideal entertaining glass with martini, coupe and classic highballs ready for your next hosting occasion!

Pair with classic stainless steel cocktail accessories from our Lume collection for the perfect home bar.

Borosilicate Glass.

Looking for glassware that can handle the heat? Borosilicate glass has a higher amount of silica, making it more resistant to thermal shock. Used in our Brew tea and coffee collection, borosilicate glass is made to serve up your favourite hot tea, espresso or latte with coordinating teapots and coffee press to complete the collection.
