‘Glass is a wonderful material. Even when it is cool, it is still moving.
It is connected with fire and water, it is so natural’

Eco-friendly
Solavia Fine Glassware is fully committed to sustainability and helping to save our planet. We only used recycled packaging and Enviro-Boxes, which are locally sourced to help reduce our carbon footprint. We also have a recycled glass collection called Eco-glass. All our glassware is handmade within the European Union. As our glassware has been handcrafted, sometimes there are natural variances, such as minor bubbles. This only goes to prove that our products are unique and not mass-produced on an assembly line.
