The service is good for family use and as a guest option. The quality of the glass is judged by the sound: like porcelain, the dishes sound loud from tapping with a spoon, and the earthenware and ceramics are dull.

• Glass ceramics. This is a relatively new material that combines the properties of glass and ceramics. Thanks to the first, the dishes are devoid of porosity, it does not need to be coated with glaze, it is easy to care for it. The property of ceramics increases the strength of glass products. This material is quite resistant to temperature changes.

• Metal. To create the sets use silver and stainless steel. Especially beautiful look silverware in oriental style. They are elegant and carved. The disadvantages of such sets include the heating of the walls, which are difficult to touch if the dish is served hot.
