Glass or crystal

understand the difference and make a sustainable choice

Glass, an informed choice.

Behind an everyday object lies a crucial choice of material.

Glass or crystal: two words often confused, but with very different uses, impacts and properties.

At Chic Bottle , we have chosen glass for its neutrality, durability and timeless elegance.

Two subjects, two philosophies


Crystal is a type of glass enriched with lead oxide or other metals to enhance brilliance and sound.

Glass, on the other hand, is a simpler, more neutral and more durable material.

The crystal relies on the visual and sound effect

Glass is preferred for its purity , resistance , and everyday use.

Glass, obviously.

A sincere material, without artifice.
An aesthetic, functional and responsible choice.
It is this obvious truth that we wanted to place at the heart of each piece

The health benefits of glass

A healthy and neutral material

Glass is inert :

  • it retains neither smell nor taste
  • it does not release any substances into liquids
  • He fully respects food and drinks

This is why glass has always been used for water, drinks and food containers.

A sustainable and responsible choice

The glass is:

  • 100% recyclable
  • infinitely recyclable, without loss of quality
  • durable over time
  • resistant to everyday wear and tear

Choosing glass means reducing waste, avoiding plastic and favouring a simple, durable and environmentally friendly material.

Why we chose glass

At Chic Bottle , we believe in objects:

  • useful
  • beautiful
  • durable
  • designed to stand the test of time

Glass is a natural choice. It allows light to express itself, accompanies everyday gestures, and integrates into all interiors without ever going out of style.
