Sunday Brunch: Czech Glass

February 28, 2021
 
Dear friends,

Today's Sunday Brunch focuses on one of our store's specialties; Czech Glass! The art of glass making in the Czech Republic can be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages resulting in a fantastic array of different styles and techniques. Czech glass has been prized for its beauty and quality for hundreds of years, but became a particularly popular medium in jewelry in the early 20th century, when jewelry makers from all over enchanted the public with colorful Czech glass beads and stones.

So grab yourself a traditional Czech
rohlik with a side of jelly or butter and sit down to enjoy these sparkling treats!
