After the blowing process, our glass ornaments have to be silvered. This step involves some chemistry knowledge!
Crystal clear ornaments could be painted right after blowing but this way we would simply make stained glass – the same thing as on the Church windows. And Santa doesn’t want to have transparent underwear!
The silver surface reflects light and keeps the colors vibrant. Because our Christmas glass bauble is silver from the inside, the outside Surface is still neutral glass so there’s no chance that some chemical process that would affect the color might occur.
When our exclusive ornament is silvered we have to put it upside down, so all the remains of the chemical residue could go out and that the ornament could dry out. After a few days we will start the painting process!
