Custom Produced Bohemian Crystal Glass
Even in the era of industrial advancement, we believe that certain things require a human touch. That is why we use traditional procedures and all our products are still manually-cut and decorated. This allows us to keep absolute control over their quality and also ensures every single piece is an original.
Do you wish to commision a historical set of crystal glasses or want to top off your event with a one-of-a-kind trophy? Thanks to manual manufacturing, we are able to produce large and small series or even individual crystal pieces on demand. Our experienced designers and artists will help you materialize your ideas.

Stories of Our Custom-Made Products
In the history of Blažek Glass, we have catered for various requirements from our customers. Here are some of the interesting stories that lie behind the individual products.
Vase for the president
On August 17th 1945, the J. Blažek Sklo Poděbrady factory hosted the Czechoslovak president, Edvard Beneš and his wife. Our glassmakers designed a vase collection with Prague motifs and the presidential couple chose one. This is another piece from the collection, which survived the communist era in a storage room and was returned to the Blažek family in restitution after 1989.
Next to the Golden Buddha in Bangkok
Thanks to Abha Kridakon, the wife of the former Thai ambassador in Czechoslovakia, our hand-cut crystal now decorates the altar of the Golden Buddha in Bangkok. During our visit to Thailand in 2016, we were pleased to spot Blažek Glass products in the abundance of flowers by Buddha’s feet.
For universities
Our longstanding cooperation with the Griffin company gave birth to a collection of hand-cut crystal keepsakes for American university graduates. Chalices, vases, carafes or whisky sets with university logos are beautiful design pieces, a lasting memory of student times and a demonstration of the pride Americans often feel for their Alma Mater.
