It should surprise no one to learn that, in fact, capitalism both can, and does, manufacture ion treated glassware. To this very day! https://www.toyo.sasaki.c

Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find the search terms for.

I'm not surprised you have to go all the way to Japan to find an example of this.

  Exactly what I was thinking. They’re one of the two “puzzling” countries for economists, Argentina being the other.

  There’s also a European company that sells ion-exchange strengthened glassware. Nude Glass’s Stem Zero and Ghost Zero line of glassware is made of this stuff. https://eu.nudeglass.com/pages/introducing-ghost-zero https://eu.nudeglass.com/pages/introducing-ghost-zero https://eu.nudeglass.com/pages/introducing-stem-zero https://eu.nudeglass.com/pages/introducing-stem-zero

  You don't. Ion-strengthened glassware is manufactured in at least Turkey (Nude glass), France (Duralex) and Portugal (closed the tab and don't remember). There doesn't appear to be a US brand making glassware with the process, which is a shame. But the US is the leading manufacturer of ion-strengthened glass for technical products, supplying Asian brands. You probably have a piece of it in your pocket.

This might be the right place to ask whether anyone is still making vases out of the beautiful iridescent glass popular among Jugendstil artists e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vase_6_Glasfabrik_Johann_Loetz_Witwe_Berlin_Br%C3%B6han-Museum_21042018_1.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vase_6_Glasfabrik_Jo... I think it's still possible to source this kind of glass as sheets – https://www.delphiglass.com/oceanside-compatible-glass-96-coe/iridescent/oceanside-dark-green-transparent-iridized-96-coe https://www.delphiglass.com/oceanside-compatible-glass-96-co... seems to come pretty close in appearance – but I can't seem to find anyone selling consumer products made out of it. (Unless they make replicas and sell them as "authentic Jugendstil ca. 1908")
