<p>A method of producing a superior quality of glass (26). The resulting end product (26) is substantially stronger than conventional glass and exhibits greater strength consistency than was previously known. The techniques include various combinations of operations including substantially reducing the thickness of a blank of raw material (20); preparing formed edges including chamfered edges, round edges, and undercut edges; super polishing all edges and surfaces of a glass item; tempering the glass either thermally, chemically, or both; super polishing again after the tempering operation; and etching the glass after one or more of several steps in the process.</p> |
