The refined look of the Tarvos collection together with the use of lead-free crystal glass will give each tasting a dazzling shine. This glass is best used for heavy complex red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah (Shiraz in Australia).
First, the shape of the product must be designed. A shape that not only looks good but is primarily functional, allowing the beverage to fully develop its potential. Then, a master mold maker creates a mold from beech wood. The mold must be accurate to a tenth of a millimeter, ensuring that each piece matches in size and shape.
Then, the master glassmaker blows lead-free glass, melted at over 1200°C, into a shape that fits the wooden mold, where it is then further blown into its final form. The higher the quality of the glass and the higher the temperature, the more durable the final product is, despite the lightness and thinness that hand-blown glass offers.
For wine glasses, molten glass is reheated on the underside of the bowl and then pulled with special tongs to form the stem, called a “štýlek”. The stem must be thin, yet durable, to withstand both enthusiastic clinking and dishwasher cleaning without worry. For products without a stem, the product undergoes gradual cooling. But wine glasses (or stemmed glasses) are far from finished at this stage!
A small drop of molten glass is placed on the shaped and cooled stem, and it is then shaped with tongs to form the base of the glass, called the “dýnko”. The molten glass fuses inseparably with the already solid material, meaning no glue or grinding of joints is needed.
The top of the product is snapped off using a diamond tool. The rim is then ground down and polished with a flame. For cut or decorated products, careful handwork follows.
In the penultimate step, each product is given great attention. Only items without visible defects proceed to the next step, which is sandblasting the KVĚTNÁ 1794 logo and packaging it for its journey to you.
