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 crystalmaking as the Czech Republic. Extensive regions within Bohemia and Moravia continue to remain centers of the art and manufacture. From the earliest days, Czech production set the tone in European, and world standards. The oldest discovery of beads within the Czech Republic dates
from the early bronze age, when this territory was populated by Celts
who knew the technology of beadmaking and enamel. Archeological testimony
confirms that beads were very popular in those times and apparently,
Benedictine monasteries were engaged in the manufacture as well.
The range of medieval product was surprisingly rich and includes graceful
transparent vessels decorated with beads. The spectacular 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 kilns.
