Schott Zwiesel Crystal Glass
– “The
World’s Best Crystal Glass”
Schott
Zwiesel (a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas, AG) has a 130 year history of
innovation and success, including such break through developments as the
first machine made stemware and the first lead-free crystal glass. With the
introduction of the proprietary Tritan® Crystal technique (the result of
special additives such as titanium with a unique tempering process) Zwiesel
has once again revolutionized the industry. Rigorous laboratory testing
proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan. We
invite you to discover why we call our product "The World's Best Crystal
Glass".
