CAESAR CRYSTAL BOHEMIAE, a.s. ,
joint-stock company, has been continuing
successfully in a tradition of a high-quality crystal production at the
Josefodol Glassworks, founded in 1861 by Mr. Josef Schreiber, a
businessman from Vienna. The company is located in the picturesque
valley of the Sázava river, close to the town of Světlá nad Sázavou, in
the region of Highlands of Bohemia.
During the totalitarian system the factory had
been nationalized in favor of the state-owned Bohemia trust. In 1994,
after the subsequent privatization, the plant was renamed to CAESAR
CRYSTAL BOHEMIAE, a.s., according to the last private owners, the Císař
brothers (equals to CAESAR), the legacy of whom the present factory
owners claim.
At the Josefodol factory, 24 % lead crystal is being mouth-blown and
hand-cut. By adopting the old time-proven traditions that are used
together with the contemporary decoration designs, the extraordinarily
fine crystal beauty is being shaped here. This is happening thanks to
the efforts of highly skilled glass designers, either our employees
(above all Mr. Zdeněk Kunst and Mr. S. Machek) or external contributors.
Throughout several decades the unique products made of colored overlay
(cased) cut crystal have been manufactured in Josefodol. These products
are, thanks to a highly qualified craftsmanship and most elaborate
processing, known all over the world.
During production, the cased crystal - a crystal clear base is being
covered by a layer of colored crystal (hot working process). During the
process of refinement - cutting - this upper colored layer is being cut
through by means of diamond wheels. Thus one can experience the
unforgettable effects of cut decoration, contrast of color, crystal and
light.
Based on a highest possible quality of production, CAESAR CRYSTAL
BOHEMIAE, a.s. has became a holder of Certificate of Quality CZECH MADE
in 1995.
