In Zwiesel, a small town in the Bavarian Forest, glass has been blown since the nineteenth century. The town’s name appears in two brands that have nothing to do with each other. Schott Zwiesel is one of them. The brand is known for Tritan crystal. It contains titanium and zirconium instead of the usual softening agents, which means the rim and stem can withstand much more.
At its core, then, it’s a brand for the hospitality industry. You’ll find Banquet, Ivento and Classico in restaurants where the glasses go through the dishwasher every day. And it’s not just wine glasses. There are beer glasses with measurement marks, whisky glasses, shot glasses, champagne glasses and carafes, all in the same style.

What is the difference between Schott Zwiesel and Zwiesel Glas?
They are two separate brands from the same small town in Bavaria, each with its own collection and product lines. Because both names include the town name, they are often confused. The glasses are not interchangeable.
What exactly is Schott Zwiesel Tritan?
Tritan is lead-free crystal glass containing titanium and zirconium. This makes the rim and stem more resistant to knocks and the alkali in dishwasher detergent, and keeps the glass clear for longer.
Can Schott Zwiesel glasses go in the dishwasher?
Yes, Tritan was designed for exactly that. Choose a short glassware cycle at a moderate temperature, and make sure the stems don't touch each other in the rack. Even with this glass, that's what causes most breakages.
Which line is best suited to the hospitality industry?
Schott Zwiesel Banquet is the classic choice. A sturdy base, 36.8 and 47.5 cl bowls, and available to order by the case. For a more modern shape that's just as durable, take a look at Ivento.
Does Schott Zwiesel glass contain lead?
No. Tritan is lead-free crystal glass. Its clarity and ring come from titanium and zirconium, not lead oxide. So you can safely store drinks in it for longer periods too, for example in a carafe.
