Bohemian glass, chiefly referred to as Bohemia crystal, is glass produced in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, now parts of the Czech Republic, and surrounding areas such as Hungary. It has a centuries-long history of being internationally recognized for its high quality, craftsmanship, beauty, and often innovative designs.
Art glass was primarily made in and around the present-day Czech Republic during the Art Nouveau or Jugendstil era, the late 1800's and early 1900's. Antique pieces in this genre most often consist of a classic vase form that has been hand-worked and sometimes deformed into swirling, organic-looking shapes like seashells, flowers, and tree trunks.
Decorative vases, cups, and pitchers were popular forms, and many of the pieces have an iridescent sheen from the firing and reduction techniques used at the time.
