Tableware

Glass articles for the table, both flatware and holloware, have specific needs both regarding aesthetic quality and chemical compliance with international regulations governing food-contact materials, and their production processes often present dedicated technological solutions both at the melting furnace level, and, above all, at the forming lines level.

Stazione Sperimentale del Vetro puts its experience and its cutting-edge instrumentation at the service of producers, decorators and users of glass tableware, supporting them in their needs for chemical analysis and product certification, troubleshooting, process or product improvement, etc.
