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.
