Borosilicate glass is easy to clean and hygienic in use due to its pore-free surface. Trendglas teapots are manufactured from clear borosilicate glass which is free of smell and flavor, does not discolour and shows high chemical and mechanical resistance. Heat resistant up to 450°C/842°F and do not release any substances and are therefore suitable for allergy sufferers.
Microwave Safe [without the stainless steel parts] and Dishwasher Safe
Heat-resistant glass for domestic use was produced in Jena, Germany for the first time around 1920. By developing borosilicate glass, Otto Schott created a universal material which, after laboratories and the industry, quickly conquered households as well.
Since production was stopped in the Schott Jenaer Glas GmbH company in 2005, you may now find their original heat-resistant glass designs with the re-editions from the Trendglas Jena collection. Made in Germany.
