What is Bohemian crystal made of?

Bohemian crystal is also referred to as Bohemian glass and is considered to be very high-quality, made with skilled craftsmanship and very attractive. Initially produced in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, this glass is made with a combination of potash and chalk. The result is a clear, colorless glass that is more stable that some other types of highly desirable art glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted Bohemian glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Is Bohemian crystal good quality?

Yes, Bohemian crystal is good quality, according to many collectors. Bohemian crystal is a potash-lime glass with a distinctively heavy feel and high luster. Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic and has a history of glass that dates to the 13th century, although it was only in the early 1700s that it became well-known across Europe for its glassmaking. It was in the 18th century that Bohemian crystal was invented; it quickly drew international interest for its elaborate ornamentation. Glassmaking in Bohemia continued to develop over the decades, from Lithyalin glass that mimicked semiprecious stones in the 19th century to the innovative abstraction of Bohemian glass artists following World War II. Shop a variety of Bohemian crystal on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal?

To tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal, first look for markings. Although the labels used by Bohemian glassworks have evolved over the years, most pieces have markings that read "Bohemia" and some variation on the words "Made in Czechoslovakia" or "Czechoslovakia." Often, markings appear on paper and foil labels, which may not survive on older pieces. If you can't find a marking, examine your piece closely for visible seams, which indicate that the item is pressed, not blown, and therefore unlikely to be genuine Bohemian crystal. You can also try striking the side of the object with the handle of a butter knife. Genuine Bohemia crystal produces a sustained ringing sound when struck, while other types of glassware may not. Should you have difficulty identifying your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer who can help you determine if your crystal is Bohemian. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Bohemian crystal.

Finding the Right Decorative-boxes for You

Antique, vintage and new decorative boxes will safely store items while adding a splash of color or texture to a corner in any room. They have had a range of purposes over the years — from trinkets to serving as useful receptacles, such as snuff boxes, jewelry boxes and more. Boxes have also been designed in a range of forms and styles.

Box making is a craft dating back thousands of years. Early boxes as decorative objects were regularly designed and decorated both inside and out, ranging from minimal looks to more flashy styles. Decorative boxes have been constructed from different materials, with wood and metal being the most common. Wood is widely available and versatile, with woodworkers able to carve complex designs or showcase its natural grain.

Some antique jewelry boxes were made with tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, ivory and even porcupine quills, such as those created by the Anishinabe in Canada and the United States. In Sri Lanka, well-crafted boxes were inlaid with porcupine quills and ivory discs between ebony bands. Chinese sewing boxes and tea boxes made of black lacquer were popular in Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. These often featured gold-painted designs or landscape scenes. Silk, paper and velvet frequently enhanced these boxes’ interiors.

Any style of decorative box can be a nice tabletop or desktop decor, whether to hold candy or tea in the living room or paper, pencils and other business supplies in the office. They can also act as jewelry boxes. Sewing boxes can be a lovely touch to any space while storing magazines or other trinkets.

Is Bohemian crystal good quality?

1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
Yes, Bohemian crystal is good quality, according to many collectors. Bohemian crystal is a potash-lime glass with a distinctively heavy feel and high luster. Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic and has a history of glass that dates to the 13th century, although it was only in the early 1700s that it became well-known across Europe for its glassmaking. It was in the 18th century that Bohemian crystal was invented; it quickly drew international interest for its elaborate ornamentation. Glassmaking in Bohemia continued to develop over the decades, from Lithyalin glass that mimicked semiprecious stones in the 19th century to the innovative abstraction of Bohemian glass artists following World War II.

How can you tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
To tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal, first look for markings. Although the labels used by Bohemian glassworks have evolved over the years, most pieces have markings that read "Bohemia" and some variation on the words "Made in Czechoslovakia" or "Czechoslovakia." Often, markings appear on paper and foil labels, which may not survive on older pieces. If you can't find a marking, examine your piece closely for visible seams, which indicate that the item is pressed, not blown, and therefore unlikely to be genuine Bohemian crystal. You can also try striking the side of the object with the handle of a butter knife. Genuine Bohemia crystal produces a sustained ringing sound when struck, while other types of glassware may not. Should you have difficulty identifying your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer who can help you determine if your crystal is Bohemian.
