Careful choices require a unique gift---like fine crystal A Birthday present 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. And what better occasion than for that extra-special selection? Heirloom quality crystal, classic or contemporary, is a truly unique gift. Feel Bohemian's selection has something special for every taste and age. You can't go wrong with crystal for gift giving 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. Consider a half-dozen (or, better yet, a full dozen) exquisite wine glasses for your gift giving. 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 give elegantly For an affordable, yet astonishing remembrance, Feel Bohemian is the right place to come. All our crystal comes directly from workshops in the Czech Republic. This allows us to sell premium quality crystal at surprisingly affordable prices. To save even more, select your gift choice from our Monthly Special. Twelve times yearly, you'll save $20. Hand made always says you cared about a choice 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. An heirloom to be handed down through the family 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 have your choice delivered 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. 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.These glassworks produced "forest glass" of a green shade, caused by imperfect refining of raw the materials, potash and quartz sand. Potash was gleaned from the ashes of burned wood and used as a melting material instead of soda.
