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. Central European (Czech) glass can be found in Corinthian excavations
from the 11th and 12th centuries. These primitive glass styles spread
through Italy, east to Istria and.north to Germany and Holland. At that
time, the production of arts and crafts ceased to be the sole preserve
of monasteries. Glassworks began to be built in forests, as workers required
vast quantities of wood to feed their furnaces. The darkest and most
extensive forests were colonized in this hungry quest.
