Throughout its rich and long history, Saint Just has remained the world's foremost leader in restoration (reproduction) clear styles, flashed, seedy, craquele, reamy, and streaky glasses.

The process of "floating" molten glass over a bed of tin was invented in the mid 1950's by Alistair Pilkington. It is still the worlds' main process producing clear glass for the building trade. A second step is added to the float glass process which transforms it into a lightly distorted glass. This is an economical alternative to mouth blown restoration styles, but with some added benefits of larger sheet dimensions and tempering ability. |
