Street Views of Glassworks
Mike M:
Here is Preciosa
the main produced of glass beads in the Czech republic looking healthy.
Mike M:
Now this is Ruckl
Not sure if this is the original Ruckl factory known from the 1900s it is possibly a latter acquisition.
This one is still fully working and making an cutting hand blown glass.
Mike M:
Finally (I think it's finally - I have a lot of photos and may have missed the odd glass works)
We have Stepanek - the front door of a small two brother glass works, making glass in the old style but doing the utmost best to ensure no one passes their work off as old (everything is signed and their pontil marks are very distinctive).
Beautiful stuff
Hopefully the future of Bohemian glass (there are quite a few others like this!)
-oh and yes that is Deb Truitt -(our troupe leader) in the picture!
cheers
hope you like the street views
Anne:
