Glass and Glassware

Glass is a hard, transparent material made primarily from silica sand, combined with other substances to give it specific properties. Glassware refers to items made from this material, such as bottles, glasses, beakers, and jars, designed for practical uses like holding liquids, serving food, or scientific experiments. Glass is valued for its clarity, durability, and non-reactive nature, making it ideal for everyday and specialized applications. The process involves melting raw materials at high temperatures, shaping them into desired forms, and cooling them rapidly to ensure strength and transparency.
