For centuries, the Czech land has been known all over the world for the delicate brilliance of the hand cut BOHEMIA CRYSTAL, preferred to Irish, Austrian, French, and Venetian glass.
Throughout the years, Czech glass has been shown in many corners of the world with great success. The glass industry has participated in worldwide exhibits and expositions and has earned accolades, awards, and numerous medals.
The best known look has always been the classic lace cut that is synonymous with Czech hand cut lead crystal. There is the winning combination of world famous quality crystal and superb artisan's workmanship. Beside this celebrated type of a cut, there are many other different, simpler cuts. Some even in a similar fashion to other admired foreign brands, which is not surprising since Czech glasscutters and artist engravers had been hired abroad for their high level of expertise and creativity.
Well-respected artists, as well as newly discovered designers, create fresh patterns all the time. Some of the unique cuts have even been patented.
But there is a lot more splendor to behold. There is stained glass, frosted glass, painted glass, paneled glass, engraved glass, hand blown glass, etched glass, high enamel and gold decorated glass, and combinations of all of these.
Naturally, these kinds of glass require completely different techniques. It calls for extraordinary craftsmanship and artwork. Many varieties are hand-painted with gold and enamel. Others are pen-painted on amber glass, vividly art painted, or art engraved by outstanding artists (e.g. the vase with 'Three Goddesses'). There are also historical replicas of old works. Still others are adorned by compositions of many of these techniques blended together. All these different treatments result in stunning objects of beauty.
Some creations are to be used in daily life as vases, bowls, trays, tea or coffee sets, to serve all kinds of drinks, etc. Others are for purely decorative purposes. Those are made routinely as consumers demand.
Then there are custom made pieces, given as trophies, awards, keepsakes, souvenirs, mementos, party favors, and tokens of recognition or appreciation. If you can dream it, we can make it a reality for you. Or, should you wish, we could both design and produce an exceptional treasure for you.
