What kind of technology is the 'ultra-light machine manufacturing method' mentioned in the description?
When reading the description of Kimura Glass wine glasses, one encounters the information that machine manufacturing was applied even though they are as thin as handcrafted glasses. It makes one wonder how the process differs from ordinary machine-made glassware.

It is a technique adopted by Kimura Glass, a production method that uses machines to precisely achieve a thin and light glass as if blown by human hands.
Ultra-light refers to a manufacturing technique that uses machines to draw out glass to be extremely thin and light. While a wine glass feels more delicate on the lips the thinner it is, this form has traditionally been mainly produced through handcrafted methods where artisans blow directly with their breath to shape it.
Kimura Glass introduced the Pivo Allora line, which is produced by machine modeled after the existing handcrafted Pivo Orthodox line[1]. For this, they adopted the 'Ultra-light' machine manufacturing method from the Slovakian glass manufacturer RONA[2].
The 280ml Pivo Allora glass produced through this process has a slender and tall form with a diameter of 5.2cm and a height of 24.8cm, yet weighs only 115g[3]. Without relying on human hand skills, machines evenly achieve thin thickness and delicate finishing[4].
hmmm, it is a technology that secures completeness with precise machines instead of an artisan's touch, helping delicate glassware be handled a bit more casually in everyday life.
Whether the Pivo Allora glass manufactured with the ultra-light method is dishwasher safe has not yet been confirmed.
