Why is Czech glass famous?
1 Answer
Czech glass is famous because of its quality and heritage. The tradition of glassmaking in the area actually predates the formation of Czechoslovakia, having originated there in the 13th century. Over the years, Czech artisans have produced glassware prized for its clarity and intricate cuts. Part of the reason why glassmaking became so prevalent in what is now the Czech Republic is that the country is home to the raw materials used in the process, such as potash and quartz.
