Birthday Gift ideas that are unique Looking for something not everyone gives? Something well out of the ordinary? We have done the footwork for you and found the best crystal available in the heart of Europe. You cannot go wrong with crystal for a memorable gift We understand that choosing the right gift may seem difficult. But our experience tells us that handmade crystal is widely appreciated by both men and women, by people of all ages and nationalities. Consider a half-dozen (or, better yet, a full dozen) exquisite wine glasses for your birthday gift idea. They'll grace any table for years to come, be admired by guests and set with pride. You'll be remembered every time they're used. We also offer a stunning collection of fine lead crystal vases at varying prices to fit your budget. An affordable way to celebrate your friends For an affordable yet astonishing gift, Feel Bohemian is the right place to come. All our crystal is made directly in workshops here in the Czech Republic, then shipped to you by air, directly from Prague. This allows us to sell premium quality crystal at surprisingly affordable prices. To save even more, select your gift from our Monthly Special. Twelve times yearly, you'll save $20. Hand made is always well made 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. Some Czech villages exist only for the glassworks, an entire community devoted to this ancient, yet contemporary skill. An heirloom to be handed down to your kids and grandkids Your grandmother may have treasured Bohemian crystal she inherited. 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 carries to your family as a valued heirloom. There's still time to choose that perfect gift We can have your selections 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. The spectacular glass mosaic "Day
of Judgment," which adorns the golden gate of St.Vitus’s Cathedral
in Prague, confirms the extreme delicacy and craftsmanship of medieval
Czech glassmaking.
