Hi! I just wanted to say that I love your drawings. I haven't come across this combination of enthusiasm for glass and interpreting it through drawing. Your drawings are so indivdulistic and unusual. Thanks for sharing them. :-)

Here (photo)
The original drawings (8x8 cm.) At the moment are not sold, are reserved for a future composing a beautiful little book of 101 images (that you all will want to own, I guess).
For the moment I will expose and market will be quality prints on paper limited, numbered and signed edition size 15x15, 30x30, and 50x50 cm.(Please note: the business of the shirts I leave to you)
Coming in the Glass Market Place section I will announce edition prints of the drawings. (Do not panic, I hope that prices will mnemonics).

For example, thanks to Robert (bOBA) I could balance my last drawing: Vase-Kotik.(Thank You !!)

I also offer my work on Vladimír Zahour and vase "1,2,3" (also could be called "Babel" for its ambitious height and levels).
The work of V. Zahour, I think it is not well known and it seems of great quality.

                                                  - KRISTAL POESIE -
 I discovered the modern Czech glass live, on my first trip to Prague back in 1998, and I was buying parts at random:
                                ŠKRDLOVICE - MATURA - EXBOR - PODĚBRADY
                                     VÍZNER - ROSICE - SVOBODA - JURNILK
                                       PALEČEK - JELÍNEK - HLAVA - OLIVA
                                   ŠUHÁJEK  - URBAN - LIBENSKÝ - KOTIK ...... ..
This melody so strange names found it difficult to retain, to bring order and harmony in this symphony, I decided to create these ideograms (associative-mnemonics)
as emblems to fix concepts and draw a exhaustive and poetic catalog of modern Czech glass.

This Victorian girl dressed in white, playing lonely, lost in the forest: is the princess of all stories. Is the primary Venus, Beauty, dodging the dangers of life here represented by the forest.
This image is addressed directly to the collective unconscious; is undoubtedly why this formula persists, why still occurs with irremediable success.

Many years ago, in an antik-bazaar to Prague, I found what I later learned was a gardener "Iceberg" of Jurnikl; I felt weird and I was attracted to her figure. I did not buy because it was damaged ...... ..but since that distant day COLD feel in my hands.

The designs of Josef Hospodka to Chřibská are usually floral inspiration (something Italianate?).
 This 1958 is its short flower, therefore we think tender, and we've made some portraits.
They come in different colors and subtle shades of white.

Here are the Vizner vises. The name is appropriate, for without doubt in the mind of the teacher was this object as a formal reference.

When you see a piece of perfect crystal: in its proportions, its modulated waveforms, serene imposing its presence very quiet way ....
                               That's a Václav Hanuš.
 Here is his siñorita a cornerstone of great sensuality.
Is an untouchable lady unstable and virginal elegance; anyone who dares to take her in his hands will forever remain committed .

This design of Max Kannegiesser, irregular oval enameled in bright colors, has been very popular.
With it's. classic line of Borské assumed airs of abstract modern informality.
We suppose that "Nemo", refers to the character of Jules Verne's novel: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Those ovals should therefore be marine inspiration; But the cheerful bubbling of balloons, also reminiscent of champagne and sparkling wines.
 We think it is because this joyous association that has been so successful.
Counting, of course, with Borské glass quality.

Here I met a Jiří Brabec and Jaroslav Svoboda, for his passion for the drops.
Those of Brabec are denser, controlled, geometric. The most liquid, scattered, random Svoboda.
Both pay tribute to the raw material, the glass flux.
In their designs displayed as finishing what was at first: curl curl, bite the tail.
Subjugated by the soft forms of a plastic universe, dream like Dali in Time: soft, continuous and present.

…….............................
Aquí  he reunido a Jiří Brabec y Jaroslav Svoboda,por su pasión por las gotas.
Las de Brabec son más densas, controladas, geométricas. Las de Svoboda más líquidas, dispersas, azarosas.
Ambos rinden homenaje a la materia prima, al cristal fundente.
En sus diseños muestran como acabado lo que fue en un principio: rizan el rizo, muerden la cola.
Subyugados por las formas blandas de un universo plástico, sueñan como Dalí, en un Tiempo: blando, continuo y presente.

Václav Zajík nació en Turnov en 1951 (dos años más joven que yo,guau!!).
Tuvo profesores  como Libenský o Matura y un espíritu analítico e investigador que hacen particulares sus creaciones artísticas

En 1981 (a los 30 años de edad)) creó este singular modelo:”Lotus”, probablemente su pieza más popular aunque quizás no la más interesante;
Tiene la particularidad de ser creada con una novedosa técnica de CENTRIFUGADO; Václav Zajík siempre comprometido,siempre a la Vanguardia.

En 1971 František  Vizner ideó estos jarrones - Nº 7117 para Škrdlovice .
Una masa de cubos se adhieren a un cuerpo central, por lo general cilíndrico,
cubriéndolo total o parcialmente de manera pegajosa.
 A algunos les sugieren piñas, toffes…incluso cubitos de hielo.
Hemos puesto la atención fuera de foco, en el núcleo, y lo hemos desnudado.

=Matura Natural=
Los cristales antropomórficos de Matura son toda una excepción  en el panorama del cristal checo moderno.
Resulta lógico pues el movimiento moderno prefiere de un lenguaje abstracto antes que naturalista.
Adolf se siente clásico con sus “ángeles OK” y sus rostros impasibles o compungidos.
Es un mérito de MATURA haber resuelto este imposible: ser  moderno de manera NATURAL.
*En este dibujo, en un juego, le hemos añadido orejas a sus caras sirviéndonos de una de sus fuentes Rudolfova .
                  ……………………………………………………………
= Matura Natural =
Matura anthropomorphic crystals are a real exception in the panorama of modern Czech glass.
 It makes sense because modernism prefer an abstract language before naturalist.
Adolf classic feel with their "angels OK" and their faces impassive or watery eyes.
MATURA is a credit to have solved this impossible:  be modern of NATURAL way.

= Disco Schmid =
Poco sabemos de Jan Schmid, solo que 1960 fue su año de gloria.
Entre sus diseños, hoy destacamos este Disco  [  Libochovice -nº 3221/30 – 1960 ] de un rigor geométrico implacable.
Se posa sobre unas burbujas de cristal que, aunque recuerdan, no son las del plástico para embalar (inventado dos años antes en 1957)
ni las luces led de los semáforos actuales. Su curvatura óptica se hermana a las de Vasarely
y con su juego de falsas dimensiones: abre ventanas a un futuro que no conocemos.

It settles on a glass bubble, but remember, are not those of bubble wrap (invented two years earlier in 1957)
and the current LED lights traffic lights. Its optical curvature ,Vasarely sister,
 to play with false dimensions: windows open to a future we do not know.

=Věra Lisková=
Aquí tenemos a una Artista Genial creadora de un universo propio y reconocible. Siempre fue precoz, con una formación exquisita (nacida en una familia de artistas y restauradores)
sus profesores en Praga, aun siendo estudiante, le confiaron importantes trabajos y con 23 años su diseño de vajilla recibiría un premio Nacional.
Sus diseños para Moser ,alguno para Škrdlovice, obtendrían reconocimiento domestico e internacional.
A partir de 1965 se retira en su hermoso taller (que antes perteneció al Arquitecto cubista Josef Gočár) y desde las suaves colinas de su barrio burgués de Vinohrady
( del cual nunca se movería)se concentra en crear una obra singular de estructuras frágiles y monumentales que acabarían teniendo proyección internacional,
 rompiendo fronteras pese al aislamiento político de la época.

 teachers in Prague, even as a student, entrusted with important work and with 23 years design dinnerware receive a national award.
His designs for Moser, some for Škrdlovice, obtain domestic and international recognition.
From 1965 he retired to his beautiful workshop (previously belonged to the Cubist architect Josef Gočár) and from the gentle hills of the bourgeois district of Vinohrady
(which you never move) focuses on creating a fragile and monumental unique work of structures that would end up being international projection,
breaking Borders despite political isolation of the time.

También estudió en Praga con el profesor Stanislav Libenský. Produjo numerosos diseños de cristal seriado para el grupo Crystalex en Nový Bor.
 Pero su éxito y reconocimiento internacional lo obtuvo con sus piezas escultóricas de grandes bloques de cristal tallados a cincel, a la manera del escultor en piedra.
Su dominio de las técnicas de trabajo en frio- coldworking- le lleva a dar cursos por medio mundo ( Japon (Toyama Instituto), Alemania, Turquía…).
Muchos de sus diseños están inspirados en Oriente y juegan con conceptos como los de: Dualidad, Penetración o Vacío y paradojas como: la destrucción creadora.

The critics often insist on the fact that socialist realism prevented the young abstract artists express themselves freely and to Kotik is mentioned as an example, taking refuge in glass design to express themselves in Conscientious (I think it is a simplistic and partisan vision * West version). Others refer to the Czech Baroque influences .... You can also these "Atlas" or "propellers" are just an attempt to surpass and carried beyond the Beránek models.
La crítica suele insistir en el hecho de que el realismo socialista impedía a los jóvenes artistas abstractos expresarse libremente y se menciona a Kotik como ejemplo de ello, refugiandose en el diseño de cristal para poder expresarse  en conciecia (pienso que es una visión simplista y partidista *Oeste versión). Otros hacen referencia a la influencias del Barroco Checo....Puede también que estos "Atlas" o "hélices" solo sean un intento de sobrepasar y llevar más allá los modelos Beránek.

Studying his work, we conclude that Adolf Matura was an artist in conflict:
Naturalism - Anthropomorphic - classic.
Rationalism - abstraction - modern.
This Rosice-722 is an example of this we say.

Estudiando su obra, llegamos a la conclusión que Adolf Matura era un artista en conflicto:

Rudolf Jurnikl stands out as one of the greats of pressed glass. His numerous designs are always categorical;
this is one of the most rotund.

This model is a silent Schmid Classic.
His odd number of sides (something uncommon in pressed glass design),
 their precise curvatures, its play of lights; Give the Rosice colors your best shine.
* (Success and mass production rivaling the -lens vase- Schrötter also Rosice).

Este modelo de Schmid es un Clásico silencioso.
Su número Impar de lados (algo no frecuente en el Diseño),
sus  precisas curvaturas, sus juegos de luces; Otorgan a la Gama de color Rosice su mejor lucimiento.

Fantastic!

Just a little comment to Vizner's Rudolfova. You have to rotate this vase about verical axis for 90 degrees.

Than look to the siluete and you will recognise stylised woman's body. More courageous is his vase Rosice 622. You do not need too much phantasy to understand what Frantisek has had on mind.

My wife Sonia once has asked him directly: is it really that issue what I can see?
Vizner answered:  Well madam, you should remember that we were very young.....

Unfortunately I'm not as young as Vizner was,nor as visionary as his wife.
 And for more turns I give him. I can not see the obvious.
Otherwise: Every vase has 2 sexes (inside - outside).
                  All vase is therefore androgynous (ambivalent).

Desgraciadamente no soy tan joven como lo era Vizner,ni tan visionario como su esposa.

There has always been tension between the ideal geometry of Euclid and Plato (on which our civilization has been built) and the apparent disorder we perceive in Nature.
Art has always been one step ahead of Science.
  Today, topological mathematics and fractal and chaos geometries are interested in complex forms, which have always been the natural material in the work of artists.
Taraba in his creations addresses this problem, managing to create "stains" rigorously constructed; offering us an extraordinary synthesis of the problem.

In Greece "Cloris" was the goddess of Spring, in Rome she was called "Flora".
Floral motifs are frequent in the art of glass and now that it is spring it is appropriate to remember them.

In Greece "Cloris" was the goddess of Spring, in Rome she was called "Flora".
Floral motifs are frequent in the art of glass and now that it is spring it is appropriate to remember them.
In the Czech glass, with the name of FLORA, numerous models have been baptized. They are well known to those created by František Koudelka for Prácheň <a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHZL_esES730ES730&q=Pr%C3%A1che%C5%88+Franti%C5%A1ek+Koudelka+Flora&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjK_fKXr4TiAhWPz4UKHUfhBDIQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1355&bih=640">here</a> but also Harrach
and many other factories this name was used; Moser has a wide floral range <a  href="https://www.moser.com/art-engravings/flora">here</a>
and we also remember those for the school of Kamenický Šenov made Pavlína Hozáková.
In 1978, Jiří Šuhájek designed these exquisite "flowers" for Crystalex.

En Grecia “Cloris” era la diosa de la Pimavera, en Roma se llamó “Flora”.
Los motivos florales son frecuentes en el arte del vidrio y ahora que es primavera resulta oportuno recordarlos.
En el cristal Checo, con el nombre de FLORA, se han bautizado numerosos modelos. Son muy conocidos los creados para Prácheň por  František Koudelka pero también en Harrach
y otras muchas factorías se usó este nombre; Moser tiene un amplio rango floral y también recordamos los que para la escuela de Kamenický Šenov realizó Pavlína Hozáková.
En 1978 Jiří Šuhájek diseñó para Crystalex estas exquisitas “flores”.

In general, these designs of the house  Karl Palda (http://www.artdecoresource.com/2015/05/the-wonderful-world-of-karl-palda-art.html?view=sidebar)
they are labeled as: Art-deco -
Because of its radical nature, its syncopated geometry, its contempt for symmetry ...
It seems more appropriate to call them: Cubists -
They surpass the balanced, harmonic and "decorative" canons of Art-deco. They separate from the set.
Closer to the movement of Czech Cubist architecture (1910's).

De manera generalizada estos diseños de la casa Karl Palda
se los etiqueta como: Art-deco -

Crowned by a very special shade of red that burns on the cusp.
That red reminds us of the scarf that the famous dancer Pepita de Oliva wore on her waist. We believe that it was in his memory that this range of Rindskopf was given a name. look here (https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,68204.0.html)

Coronadas  por un tono de rojo muy especial que se quema en la cúspide.

Dalibor Tichý (1950-1985)
In the short career of this master we can establish two aesthetic and formal tendencies, say that, opposed:
- The one developed for Crystalex –Noví Bor between the years
1976-80 (https://www.pinterest.es/glassmaschine/dalibor-tichy-1950-1985-czechoslovakia/), of an abstract biologism that reminds us of the specimens of the Blaschka brothers
- And his works study-glass 1980-85 in Prague, of rigorous geometry and more focused on the optical properties of the object.

de un biologismo matérico que nos recuerdan los especímenes de los hermanos Blaschka.
-   Y sus trabajos de estudio-glas 1980-85 en Praga, de rigurosa geometría y más centrado en las propiedades ópticas del objeto.

Glassware
Among the varied production of glassware of the Heinrich Hoffmann house there is a line that approaches and sometimes subscribes to the postulates of ArtDeco
(style that was defined and imposed in the “Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes” - Paris 1925, which supposed the break with the "Neoclassical" legacy and the soft and sweetened response to the change in aesthetics imposed by the new "avant-garde",read Cubism,Suprematism, etc ...).
It is not for these notes, but also, for which we have illustrated this design: it is for its, for us, subtle and complex allegory.

Cristalería
De entre la variada producción de cristalería de la casa Heinrich Hoffmann hay una línea que se acerca y en ocasiones suscribe los postulados del ArtDeco (estilo que se definió e impuso en la  “Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et industriels Modernes”- París 1925, que suponía la ruptura con el legado “Neoclásico”
y la respuesta suave y edulcorada al cambio de estética impuesto por las nuevas “vanguardias” léase cubismo, etc….).
No es por estos apuntes, aunque también, por los que  hemos ilustrado este diseño: es por su, ,para nosotros, sutil y compleja alegoría.

Karel Wünsch updates classic techniques of cutting on two-tone glass, managing to adapt them to the "modern" taste in a charming and effective way.

Miloš Bohuslav Volf (1915-1983) was a humanist scientist (spoke: Czech, English, German, French, Latin, Italian, and Russian), a specialist in crystal chemistry, developed patents such as the famous "Atil" and "Simax" for the firm Kavalier. Author of books of his specialty, university professor and representative of the Czechoslovak glass industry in international organizations. In 1940 - 45, as a young graduate in Biology and Chemistry, he entered the firm's chemical department - ČMS Reich Krásno - where he would coincide and be technically involved in the work of designers as restless as he was: the brothers Karel and František ZemeK, Milena Velíšková, Ludvika Smrčkova and an already experienced glass worker Emanuel Beránek; One day, possibly assisted by the latter, experimentally (we do not know of any other of his designs) he was encouraged to create this friendly and successful kitten that has continued to be produced by different hands and in various factories until today.

En 1940 - 45, siendo un joven licenciado en Biología y Química, entró a trabajar en departamento químico de la firma -ČMS Reich Krásno- allí coincidiría y se implicaría técnicamente en el trabajo de diseñadores tan inquietos como él: los hermanos Karel y František ZemeK, Milena Velíšková, Ludvika Smrčkova y un ya experimentado trabajador del vidrio Emanuel Beránek; un día, posiblemente asistido por este último, a modo experimental (no conocemos ningún otro diseño suyo ) se animó a crear este simpático y exitoso gatito que no ha dejado de producirse por diferentes manos y en diversas factorías hasta el día de hoy.

Klein - and others younger or less known] in editions of 500 numbered and signed by their authors for marketing in the U.S.A.

In the 30's of the 20th century, he firmly opted for Art-Deco, perhaps the highlight of his production. Some of his birds are proof of what we say.

as a whole, we are immersed with their sinuous, undulating and bubbling shapes in an ocean full of pearls.

This “Jack in the pulpit” motif is recurrent for many glass firms,
but Loetz's are undoubtedly the most eloquent.

It was the norm in Škrdlovice to propose to its designers the creation of a chandelier.
Milena Velíšková took this request seriously.

After a decade of experimentation, in 1918 the Möser house would patent the technique of engraving painted in gold, fired and finally polished or patinated with color under the name <Oroplastic>. In the following decades, the intensely colored crystal pieces, also exclusive, adorned with a golden band, were among the most characteristic of the firm. From 1922 is the Fipop series, designed by Leo Möser, where some young Amazons, with a neoclassical appearance, parade in a circle on pieces of finely carved glass with geometric shapes closer to Art-Decó.

The technique called “Pulegoso” supplies the vitreous mass with infinite and tiny bubbles that opaque it, giving it an ancient and almost primitive appearance. Apparently it was created (1920´s) by Napoleone Martinuzzi - Murano -.
It was in the former ČMS Reich Krásno glassworks that the young Emanuel Beránek and Milena Velíšková became familiar with this rare technique and later applied it to their designs for Škrdlovice.

Neodymium glass is dichroic, which means that it shows up in two different colors, depending on the type of light passing through it. In sunlight, neodymium glass appears bluish-green and in fluorescent light it appears violet-blue.

Leo Moser of Moser Glass first developed the commercial use of neodymium in glass in the 1920s by recording it as "Alexandrite" in reference to Tsar Alexander II and has used it frequently in his models ever since. The Železnobrodské Sklo (ZBS) glassworks should also be noted as a lover of this spectacular and always surprising type of glass in its wide “Luxodine” range.

El vidrio de neodimio es dicroico, lo que significa que se muestra en dos colores diferentes, según el tipo de luz que lo atraviese. A la luz del sol, el vidrio de neodimio se ve verde- azulado y con luz fluorescente se ve azul-violeta.

Leo Moser, de Moser Glass, fue el primero en desarrollar el uso comercial del neodimio en el vidrio en la década de 1920 registrándolo como “Alejandrita” en referencia al Zar Alejandro II y desde entonces lo usa con frecuencia en sus modelos. También hay que señalar a la vidriería Železnobrodské Sklo (ZBS) como amante de este espectacular y siempre sorprendente tipo de cristal en su amplia gama “Luxodine”.

In 1789, it was the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth who isolated and identified <Uranium>, baptizing it with the name of the newly discovered planet.
There is a strange prevention or attraction or repulsion towards this type of crystal that we could call "Nagasaki syndrome" but it seems proven that the uranium contained in these crystals is not more harmful than they can be: lead, cobalt, arsenic (great eater of the small unwanted bubbles), feldspars, copper oxide... and other delicatessen that contain our beloved crystals, just as they are found in our delicious salads, in the ground we walk on and in the field of electromagnetic waves where we live.
In the 1830s, Bohemian glassmaker Josef Riedel excelled at producing uranium glass in two colors: Annagrun (green) and Annagelb (yellow), named after his daughter.
Soon uranium glass became very popular and manufacturers in all countries adopted it creating color variations and shades. Commercially it would become known as Vaseline glass.
As Jay Glickman and Terry Fedosky suggest. “The Vaseline glass fell victim to the light bulb!” Indeed, the magical sunsets that caused the last rays of the sun to affect the pieces of uranium glass, so abundant in homes at the time, vanished with the arrival of electricity: they lost part of their charm and added to the restrictions of the raw material due to the "cold war" its production was declining.

*just in case my uranium collection is reduced to three small pieces :) 

En 1789Fue el químico alemán Martin Heinrich Klaproth quien aisló e identificó
el <Uranio> bautizándolo con el nombre del recién descubierto planeta.
Existe una extraña prevención o atracción  o repulsión hacia este tipo de cristal que podíamos llamar “síndrome Nagasaki” pero parece demostrado que el uranio contenido en esos cristales no es más dañino que lo puedan ser: el plomo, cobalto, arsénico (gran comedor de las pequeñas burbujas indeseadas), feldespatos, oxido de cobre…y demás delicatessen que contienen nuestros amados cristales, al igual por cierto que se encuentran en nuestras ricas ensaladas, en la tierra que pisamos y en el campo de ondas electromagnéticas donde nos desenvolvemos .
En la década de 1830 el vidriero bohemio Josef Riedel se destacó en la producción de vidrio de uranio en dos colores: Annagrun (verde) y Annagelb (amarillo)llamados así en honor a su hija.
Pronto el vidrio de uranio se hizo muy popular y fabricantes de todos los países lo adoptaron creando variaciones de color y matices. De manera comercial pasaría a ser conocido como vidrio vaselina.
Como sugieren Jay Glickman y Terry Fedosky . “¡El vaso de vaselina fue víctima de la bombilla!” efectivamente los atardeceres mágicos que provocaban los últimos rayos de sol al incidir en las piezas de vidrio de uranio, tan abundantes en los hogares de la época, se desvanecieron con la llegada de la luz eléctrica: perdido parte de su encanto y sumado a las restricciones de la materia prima debido a la “guerra fría” su producción fue decayendo.

*por si acaso mi colección de uranio se reduce a tres pequeñas piezas :)

There are moments when the ground of life shifts under our feet, as if we were stepping on rickety tiles.
In 1963 -Jan Schmid - after an early, successful but brief career in the glass industry, unexpectedly left it radically to embark on another career, which has also been successful, in the theater world - Studio Ypsilon-.
Nobody knows the reason for such a radical change of direction.
Perhaps the author himself will explain it to us in the autobiography he is writing.
In the meantime we will continue to speculate.

Nadie sabe el porqué  de tan radical cambio de rumbo.
Quizás nos lo explique el propio autor en la autobiografía que está escribiendo.
Mientras tanto seguiremos especulando.

Tango glass. The name “Tango” for this type of crystal with solid, primary and brilliant colors seems anachronistic to us.
We can associate such a burst of color with the colors of tropical flowers and fruits as part of the South American imaginary; but it is difficult to relate to the aesthetics of Tango, a sordid dance and something of a scoundrel, born in the shadow of the streetlights of the "arrabal" dressed in black like cats at night.

Tango glass. La denominación “Tango” a este tipo de cristal de colores sólidos, primarios y brillantes nos parece anacrónica.

and here interviewed by the BBC:

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/people_and_places/pdfs/people_071211_tango.pdf


The Argentine Tango is the most beautiful dance :)  Thoughtful, intricate, a true connection and full of soul.  The music likewise - you cannot hear it without wanting to dance.
In my opinion  the glass embodies the dance.  The shapes, the colours and the classy black rims on coloured glass.  The blue and lilac and pink glass with black rims is amazing.

SÁZAVA: small town located 50 km. south of Prague was the place chosen by František KAVALIR to found the KAVALIER glassworks in 1837.
The firm began specializing in glass (BOROSILICATE) for pharmacy and laboratory use. The KAVALIR family grew its facilities as the international prestige of its products grew.
A spirit of intense research allowed him to develop multiple patents, giving rise to different production lines for both medical and home use: UNEXCELLER / ISIS / NEUTRAL / K35 / PALEX / SIMAX, the latter created by Dr. Volf (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,55848.msg388334.html#msg388334)
 (1958) It turned out to be the most successful, being produced to this day.
At the same time she was required to carry out special commissions such as the famous ZPÍVAJÍCÍ FONTÁNA by [ Dana Hlovilová ], awarded at the Brussels Expo in 1958 / Prague METRO Stations [ František Vizner ] 1983 / Facade of the new NATIONAL THEATER for LATERNA MAGIKA [ Stanislav Libenský ] 1983……
With privatization after the fall of communism, the firm declined until it went bankrupt in 1984. In 2009 it was acquired and rescued by Mr. OTAKAR MOT'KA and was reborn with the name  KAVALIERGLASS (https://www.kavalier.cz/en/)

In the history of glass it was always rare and expensive to find RED glass, as GOLD was part of its formulation.
Everything changed when in 1832 an extraordinary man
 Friedrich Egermann (https://crystalvalley.cz/cs/pribeh-skla/friedrich-egermann)
he found a way to produce Ruby Red glass of unmatched beauty at standard prices. With characteristic design patterns that have continued to be produced until 2021, the year in which the firm closed due to bankruptcy due to Covi and high gas prices.
