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.

What is special about Bohemian crystal?

Bohemian crystal is known for its brilliance which is due to the high amount of lead in the crystal, creating more sparkle. Sometimes called Bohemian glass, this crystal is produced in regions of Bohemia and Silesia in the Czech Republic, which have a long history of glass-making since around 1250.

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.

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.

Finding the Right Boxes for You

From mere trinkets to useful receptacles that serve a distinct purpose, antique boxes as decorative objects have come in many forms over the years. No matter what they’re made of or where they end up in your home, decorative boxes add both style and storage to your space.

The decorative box that is likely most common is the jewelry box. These boxes were originally known as jewel caskets and were in common use in Ancient Egypt, as most Egyptians wore some sort of jewelry. A portable jewelry box, in its original intended use, was integral to keeping your jewelry safe and secure. This accessory has transformed in size, shape and appearance over the years. Initially it was common for a jewelry box to bear intricate ornamentation. Whether they’re mid-century modern works of marble and brass or feature playful Art Deco–style geometric decor, jewelry boxes boast real staying power.

Snuff boxes began to soar in popularity during the 17th century (and were commonplace in European homes by the mid-19th century). The boxes, some hand-painted with landscape scenes, some made from gold, porcelain or stone, contained a small amount of tobacco, which users would sniff, or “snuff,” throughout the day. Some particularly ornamental snuff boxes featured enameled designs or were set with precious gems and were given as gifts or party favors, particularly at the coronation of royalty or other lavish events.

Whether you’re organizing important mail in the foyer or tucking away medications in your bathroom, antique boxes — be they metal tea caddies, sterling-silver decorative boxes or Victorian cigar boxes made of oak (even if you don’t smoke) — are a sophisticated solution to help keep the surfaces in your home clutter-free. And no matter if you’re seeking a decorative box to beautify a desktop or bestow upon a loved one, you are sure to find something you love in the collection of antique and vintage boxes on 1stDibs.

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. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Bohemian crystal.
Is Bohemian crystal good quality?
1 Answer
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.
