The name Bohemia Crystal is old and originated around the 9th century when glass started being manufactured in monasteries.
Virtually all Bohemia Crystal comes from the present day Czech Republic.
Bohemia is a generic term given to an area in which many independent factories all producing various types of crystal glass are situated.
The quality varies from molded crystal to individually hand cut items.
Most crystal is now cut by specialized machines. The cutting is so good that it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a machine or hand cut item.
Spilhaus stocks a selection of both machine cut and hand cut items.
