Bowl borosilicate glass

Suitable for a side salad or a delicious dessert. They serve savoury or sweet snacks to accompany an aperitif or espresso. These shapely bowls are made of borosilicate glass: neutral in odour and taste. Moreover, they are heat-resistant, and you can put them in the dishwasher. Produced in the Czech Republic.

Borosilicate glass was developed in 1891. Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott designed it having in mind a special glass for the optical and chemical industry. From the Jena glassworks, the glass with the unique product features promptly went on to conquer the world. In the nearby Bauhaus school of design in Weimar, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Bruno Mauder, and Ilse Decho were fascinated with the idea of using laboratory glass in the kitchen and gave the new material a contemporary form.
