VENUS & ATHENA

The manufacture of Alar glass for the hotel and catering industry is governed by a series of strict parameters that aim to maximize the performance of each of the pieces. The design of the Venus and Athena wine glasses brings elegance to the table, comfort in use and reliability in the work.

Venus and Athena are two series of 35, 47 and 58 cl totally identical in terms of their shapes and the composition of the glass. In both models the thickness of the edge has been reduced to make the cups more pleasant in the mouth and the feet have been reinforced to increase the useful life of the pieces.

The only difference between them occurs at the end of the manufacturing process, when the Athena cups pass through a tempering line by means of jets of cold air. This rapid decrease in temperature creates surface tensions in the molecular structure of the glass that confer special physical characteristics to the glass. Tempered glass is up to 10 times more durable than conventional glass, making it more profitable for the catering professional. Tempered glass is also safer, since when it suffers any damage, it breaks down into small fragments whithout any large sharp edges.
