Antique Crystal Decanter

To the touch, Bohemia crystal glass sets are heavier and more stable than ordinary glassware. Their thickness and balance are precisely calculated to create a feeling of sturdiness and comfort in use. The sound when lightly tapped is also distinctive – clean, clear and long, reminiscent of the ringing of a bell, which is a characteristic feature of real crystal. In addition to the visual and sensible difference, Bohemian crystal glassware is also distinguished by the following characteristics: They are made with hand-cut or engraved ornaments, which make each glass unique; They are more resistant to scratches and wear; They have a higher aesthetic and gift value; They are made in the Czech Republic – a region with a centuries-old tradition in the production of crystalware. While ordinary glass is used primarily for its intended purpose, Bohemia Crystal glasses offer a combination of sophistication, style and cultural tradition. They do not simply store drinks, but emphasize the character of each drink. This is precisely where their uniqueness and advantage over mass-produced glassware is.
