Zalto
The tradition of using only the most highly skilled glass-blowers is reflected in the fineness of each Zalto glass. In the northern part of Lower-Austria the tradition of glass blowing goes back to the early 14th century. With the exception of the bowl, which is blown into a mold, the glasses are created free-hand using the trained eye of the glassblower.Â
The curve of each bowl is tilted at the angle of 24°, 48° and 72°, which are in accordance to the tilt angles of the Earth. The ancient Romans utilized this triumvirate of angles with their supply repositories, finding that produce stayed fresh for a longer time, and that it also showed improved taste.Â
