Yes because it is a special process and makes the tableware last longer.
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass.

Sometimes it can cost a bit more but most of the time it is about the same.
Pewter may not increase in value any more thatn sterling silver tableware, however, pewter is relatively more easy to maintain and clean.
A Bugatti would be a bit pricier.
how do you tell?
China tends to be more expensive than Crystal.
No, heat strengthened glass and annealed glass are different. Heat strengthened glass is treated with heat to improve its strength, while annealed glass is cooled slowly to relieve internal stresses and make it more uniform. Heat strengthened glass is generally stronger than annealed glass.
Bamboo is some of the most durable material on Earth, but it is pricier than most flooring. I personally prefer the way that it looks, so to me, even though it's pricier, the appearance and durability gives it more value.
Annealed glass is a type of glass that has been slowly cooled after being heated to high temperatures during its manufacturing process. This controlled cooling helps to relieve internal stresses within the glass, making it more stable and less prone to breakage. While annealed glass is generally stronger than unprocessed glass, it is not as strong as tempered glass, which undergoes a different heating and cooling process for enhanced durability. Annealed glass is commonly used in windows, picture frames, and various architectural applications.
Toughened glass is transparent, allowing light to pass through. It is specifically designed to be stronger and more impact resistant than regular glass, making it a popular choice for applications where safety and durability are important.
Sterling silver
Yes, Corelle and many other brands of tableware allow you to replace a single piece. Though, sometimes buying single pieces can be more expensive alone than buying them in a set.
