Production of glass in the Bohemia region appears since time immemorial, and belongs together inseparably. Historical findings have demonstrated the processing of glass in this area since the time of the Celts, two thousand years ago, at the beginning of the Christian calendar, although the first written records and evidence are from the 60s to the tenth century.
The first industrial production of glass by glass factories in the Bohemia region dates back to the turn of the 13th and 14th century, when the first glass factories were formed. These were the strategic regions that began to build in the border areas untouched Ore, Jizera, Lusatian Mountains, Giant Mountains, Forest Maintains and Moravia. Since the mid-14th century, the oldest Bohemia glass rendered nearly transparent glass soda-calcium origin and created goblets, cups, and church windows (later enriched by paintings), among others for the Roman Emperor and Czech King Charles IV, who let them fill the windows of Prague Castle.
In the 16th century, according to historical sources, 34 Bohemia factories were producing glass, with a high probability that there were many more factories.
In the 20th century, the industry largely expanded automated production of tableware with the help of the third millennium reminiscent technology, but traditional hand-made production remained
