Brief introduction of Czech crystal
2010-06-17 18:35:00
Czech crystal is a glass that is made in present-day Czechoslovakia, or the Czech Republic. Today, Czech crystals are considered top of the range of crystals used to decorate chandeliers and jewelries. Prior to the formation of the country of Czechoslovakia, the entire region was known as Bohemia. In that region, the products made there were known as Bohemian crystal, or Bohemian glass. Now, Czech crystals look almost similar with glass. But glass has been made in the Czech region since the early Bronze Age. At that time, the area was primarily occupied by the Celts. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Czech crystal and glass are far more than popularity. This lasted until World War II, which pretty much wiped the area's production and popularity until very recent times.
“Crystal” came from a Greek word which means "ice" because of its coolness, clearness, and purity. Czech crystals were first found in the mountains. They are pure, cool, limpid, and achromatic. People began to use them for various purposes, such as jewelry and decoration. And today, Czech crystals are widely used in crystal chandeliers for decorative purposes.
