High-clarity Italian glass from John Artis
27 September 2007 by Emma White
Italian glassware manufacturer Luigi Bormioli has created a new range of fine crystal glassware made from patented lead-free glass.
Son.hyx is designed to offer perfect clarity and high strength. It will be introduced gradually across all Luigi Bormioli ranges, starting with the Magnifico collection.
The light, permeable material is transparent and colourless, ensuring that the true colour of wine is seen. Laboratory tests carried out by the company have shown that rim strength is improved by 35% and resistance to mechanical shock is doubled.
The Magnifico collection features large-capacity bowls, (up to 850ml) to enhance oxygenation, and a narrow rim.
