Established in 1979 in Thailand, Ocean Glass is one of Asia's largest and most respected glassware manufacturers. It occupies a unique niche: providing high-clarity soda-lime glassware that bridges the gap between everyday utility and crystal-like elegance.

Unlike cheaper Asian competitors that may have a greenish or greyish tint (due to iron impurities), Ocean Glass is renowned for its pure, transparent finish. They achieve this by sourcing premium sand and utilizing advanced Japanese furnace technology (from their early partnership with Toyo-Sasaki Glass).

Traditionally, soda-lime glasses have thick, rolled rims to prevent chipping. Ocean Glass pioneered techniques to produce soda-lime glasses with laser-cut, fine rims, offering the mouth-feel of expensive crystal wine glasses at a fraction of the cost.

• Ocean: The core brand for everyday home and restaurant use.
• Lucaris: Their premium sub-brand, producing “Crystal” (lead-free) glass, marking their entry into the luxury segment.
• Connexion: A highly popular barware series designed to stack perfectly while looking like vintage cut glass.
