NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Okie Morris is as spunky and offbeat as her latest creation – the Original Rednek Wine Glass.
Packing boxes of glasses for delivery to local retail customers, she laughs about the thousands of glasses selling nationwide and the newspaper, online and TV stories documenting her sudden success.

On a large proportion of our dining room, living room and home office furniture including glass dining tables and kitchen tables you will see reference made to the product being made from tempered glass.
Tempered glass is often referred to as safety glass, whilst not completely shatter proof, it is much stronger than standard glass, able to withstand more pressure and less likely to break. The tempered glass on glass dining tables is achieved by using a certain heating and cooling technique, treated with chemicals, this enables the glass to obtain its extra strength.
When tempered glass does break, it does so in a different way to normal glass.
