"Bohemian Glass" has been famous for a long time. Since the early middle ages Bohema belonged to the glass making countries.
The
excellent quality of the material, the individual and artistic processing were the trade marks of the Bohemian glass artists.
During the second half of the Fifties, Czech glass artists detected the capability of glass for expression initiating the origin of the glass sculpture.
Since this time the material glass has succeeded as a new
art direction, whereby today the Czech glass artists undoubtably belong
to the wolrdwide top of this art.

The success has its origins in the
long tradition as well as in the outstanding and unique ten-year
lasting education, which consists in most cases of the studies at one
of the glass schools and the subsequent studies at the Prague Academy
Of Applied Arts.
This comprehensive education implies the perfect skill
as well the artistic realization.
The particularities of Czech glass
art are mainly based on the combination of the painted, sculptural and
graphic expression.
