What is special about Bohemian crystal?
Bohemian crystal is known for its brilliance which is due to the high amount of lead in the crystal, creating more sparkle. Sometimes called Bohemian glass, this crystal is produced in regions of Bohemia and Silesia in the Czech Republic, which have a long history of glass-making since around 1250.
