Its glassware is used widely in restaurants, hotels and bars and banqueting operations where consistency matters. While the brand is associated with refined design, its reputation has been built just as much on practicality.

Material and Durability

What sets Schott Zwiesel apart is its use of TRITAN® crystal, a lead-free glass developed specifically for professional environments. By strengthening the glass with titanium oxide, Schott Zwiesel has created products that are noticeably more resistant to chipping, scratching and breakage than traditional crystal. In practical terms, this means glasses that survive repeated dishwashing without clouding and are far less likely to fail at the rim or stem. The rims are laser-cut rather than rolled, giving a clean, smooth edge that improves the drinking experience while maintaining strength. The company also places importance on responsible production, using energy-efficient furnaces and water-recycling systems to reduce environmental impact without compromising quality.
