ABOUT US

ARTCRISTAL BOHEMIA • In a township Velký Osek near Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, we have opened a family glassworks. Since 1992, we have been producing original decorative glass products. Actually, it was Mr. Jan Machálek with his spouse Irena, who build the glass works from the grass-roots. A few years ago, their son Jan joint them.

There we produce collections of unique glass products applicable especially for interior decorations. Our collections are exclusively produced so that our customers can gradually complement them according to their tastes and feelings.

We deliver our products to more than (approximately) 300 shops and smaller galleries around the world, from the US to Australia. Many of our products may also be used as sports trophies.

Our motto reads: „We enjoy doing things, to please others“.

 

GLASS MELTING • For glass production we use raw materials of our own composition recipe, resulting in the so called „Bohemia Crystal“. The mixture of raw materials is melted overnight in a glass furnace at a temperature of approximately 1400 °C. The glass mass must then be cleaned and homogenized before being cooled to the working temperature of around 1180 °C.
