With a little bit of care, crystal, especially high lead crystal, can last for many generations. The gift of kings for more than six centuries, this enduring tradition of craftsmanship assures you've made the right choice. Hand made always shows you care Every piece in our collection is made entirely by hand, by craftsmen who trace their crystal working ancestry back through generations, often in the same villages where they now live and work. Many of these villages exist primarily for the glassworks and the tradition of glassworking is even today handed down from generation to generation. Young and old, in leather aprons or shorts and running shoes, all reflected in the glare of the kiln. There's still time to make a special choice We can have your gift choice at your door, shipped directly from the Czech Republic, in a matter of approximately a five to ten days. Feel Bohemian delivers old world craft on a new world schedule. Perhaps, no other country in the world can point to as long a tradition of glassmaking as the Czech Republic. Extensive regions within Bohemia and Moravia continue to remain centers of Czech glassmaking and manufacture. From the earliest days, Czech glass set the tone in European, and world glassmaking. The oldest discovery of glass beads within the Czech Republic dates from the early bronze age, when this territory was populated by Celts who knew the technology of glassmaking and enamel. Archeological testimony confirms that glass beads were very popular in those times and apparently, Benedictine monasteries were engaged in the manufacture of glass as well. The range of medieval glass was surprisingly rich and includes graceful transparent glasses decorated with beads.
