History of Czech Glass
Czech glass received its world-wide fame due to its high quality of production,
unique design, harmony of beauty and graceful performance. Czech glass is glass
standard all over the world. Its history begins in medieval times, when
monasteries of Benedict's, who held the craftsmanship of glass-painting and
created stained-glass windows which were used for the decoration of the main
Gothic buildings. In medieval glass workshops – gutes, monks created colorful
and colorless glass mass used for the production of wide assortment of
calicoes, goblets, bowls, and special wine bottles e.t.c.
First glass workshops were founded in Severochesky lands near Luzicky Mountains
Borskoshepovsko , where glass masters used ancient techniques of glass
production and design, kept from the times of ancient states of Asia and Egypt.
There, in Egypt
and Syria
main technologies of decorative glass design were developed. In 16th
century they were brought on Czech territory by Venetians. Czech masters
admired the beauty of Venetian glass and tried to reach the same perfection.
In 16-17th century’s Czech lands under the rule of King Rudolf the
II started to attract huge number of painters, glass and stone engravers, and
grinders from the whole Europe.
This era granted Czech Republic with best traditions of glass production and made it possible to create glass
that was similar in its features to rock crystal. Since then transparent but
strong Czech glass is called “Czech crystal”.
Thanks to the efforts of Czech masters of glass blowing, mainly of Fridrich
Egermann, the development of glass production received its rapid rise in 18-19th
centuries. During those times many glass production centers such as: Bor,
Jablonec and Nisou, Zelezny Brod, Kamenicky Ksenov were founded. Modern Czech glass is the result of the demanding handwork of glass masters
together with painters and designers. Its wide assortment delights buyers with
beautiful vases, sculptures, unique interior accessories and exclusive
handmade items.
