The history of Spiegelau

The first recorded mention of the Spiegelau factory is in the last will and testament of Erasmus Mospurger, dated 1521. Throughout history, glass has played a major role in shaping lives, propelling economies and advancing civilization. As thousands of other glass manufacturers have come and gone, the company has endured and flourished. In the sixteenth century, when mirrors were popular in royal courts, the company produced fine glass mirrors, beads and decorative bottles.In 1845 the factory produced snuff bottles, which were all the rage.

In 1911 the factory was rebuilt and modernized. In 1926, owner Fritz Pretzfelder gave the company its current name - Kristallglasfabrik Spiegelau GmbH, or The Spiegelau Crystal Glass Factory. During World War II, he fled to England, and returned after the war to take repossession of his company. In 1990 Spiegelau was purchased by Nachtmann Group.

From sand and flame come pleasure and beauty

Just how did that sleek, elegant wine glass that rests so smoothly in your hand as you sit and sip with friends come to be?

All glass contains certain basic elements, but the "recipe" of how these elements are combined, and the process by which the glass is produced, profoundly influence the quality and look of the finished product. A seemingly simple mix of sand, soda and lime, glass is actually a superheated and cooled liquid held in suspension. Glass is comprised mostly of silicon dioxide (silica), to which a potassium compound and sodium carbonate (soda ash) is added to lower its melting point. Lime (calcium oxide) must then be added to make the glass insoluble in water. This mixture is shaped, cooled and hardened into glass - with the crystal clarity, elegant smoothness, and dazzling brilliance that make it radiate beauty on a table.
