Solavia

With a family history steeped in traditional glassware production, we established Solavia Ltd in 2012 as an independent family business specialising in glassware and tableware. Based in Warwickshire, we supply on both retail and wholesale basis. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and providing quality, handmade products at competitive... prices. Our families are from a long line of traditional glass-makers and so the name Solavia comes from the names of our three daughters Sophie, Laura and Olivia. The inspiration for our company was in understanding that customers like you, wanted original glassware, moving away from artificial, unfriendly plastics. People buy 30-40 kg of glass per year; we wanted customers to be able to buy high quality, clear glass at prices they could afford. We bring our glass from professional, renowned traditional glassmakers in Italy, Poland and Slovenia that use age- old mouth-blowing techniques where the skills are passed down from generation to generation. The environmental advantages of this sort of glass are numerous as there is very little waste and unused glass is recycled. There is no manufacturing, each piece is handmade.
