Table-Cathedral-Glass is not a sheet glass produced by means of mouth-blowing. To the contrary, it comes into existence through the pouring of molten glass onto a table top of special design, then rolling and flattening under a cylinder. The name is a compound consisting of „table”, an essential part of the production machinery, and „cathedral”, referring to the window glazing of medieval churches. Apart from the blowing of glass the rolling out of the molten glass is the second traditional method of sheet glass production.
The front surface of the Table-Cathedral-Glass is different from that of the back surface: The fire-polished front has a smooth and slightly grooved texture whereas the back (table-side) is structured by a hammered pattern. Occasional irregularities spread over the surface of this handmade glass are certainly a sign of their genuineness.
Original Lamberts-Table-Cathedral-Glasses have the same fine quality as all our other products. As a matter of fact originality, brilliance and texture of these glasses can only be achieved by expert craftsmanship deeply rooted in tradition.
