Artisan hand-blowing molten glass at the AVM furnace in Firozabad

Manufacturing

Fire, breath and hand

Traditional Firozabad glassmaking, run to the discipline an export programme needs.

From furnace to your doorstep

Seven stages, one piece

01

Raw material sourcing

Selected silica sand, soda ash and minerals batched to our own recipe.

02

Glass melting at 1400°C

Materials melt in high-temperature furnaces until the batch runs clear.

03

Hand blowing & shaping

Master artisans gather, blow and shape every piece by hand or into moulds.

04

Hand finishing & cutting

Rims are cut, ground and fire-polished; facets and flutes cut on the wheel.

05

Quality inspection

Every piece checked for clarity, rim finish, stability and stress before packing.

06

Premium export packaging

Drop-tested cartons, dividers and pallet loading for sea and air freight.

07

Export worldwide

FOB and CIF shipments with full documentation to over 50 countries.

Quality control

Inspected piece by piece

Handmade glass carries small variations — that is its signature. What it must never carry is a cold crack, a sharp rim or an unstable base. Every piece is checked under light before it is wrapped, boxed and palletised.

  • Rim, base and stress inspection on 100% of output
  • Colour matched batch to batch for repeat orders
  • Drop-tested export cartons with corrugated dividers
  • Container loading plans and full export documentation
  • Pre-shipment inspection welcome, buyer or third party
