• Early Bohemian glassmakers settled in dense forests, which provided both raw materials like sand and potash, as well as wood to fuel their furnaces.
• Bohemian glassmakers were pioneers in the development of new techniques, including the creation of crystal glass that was both hard and clear, making it highly desirable.
• Bohemian glass is famous for its vibrant colors, achieved through the addition of various metal oxides. For example, cobalt creates a deep blue, while gold can produce a rich red.
• Bohemian glass was highly favored by European royalty. Empress Maria Theresa of Austria was a significant patron, helping to popularize its use throughout the continent.
• In the Czech Republic, Bohemian glass is more than just a craft; it is a cultural symbol, representing the region's rich artistic heritage and enduring craftsmanship.
• Contemporary Bohemian glassmakers continue to innovate, blending traditional techniques with modern designs to create pieces that appeal to today's collectors.
