Renaissance style

Renaissance became important critical moment in the development of the European glass, considered from the technological and art points of view. The Venetian glass, on which for the first time there was colored enamel, has played a key role in it. It was the beginning of the era of present color glass,decors???????? implementation, and the engraving.

Czech glass makers aspired to open know-how of the Venetian glass and to imitate this glass. They have learned better, than in the past, to cook and clear the glass, to make new patterns and to use new kinds of techniques (the implementation of strings and sticks, an engraving a diamond edge, painting and bake out of the enamel paints). The painting of the enamel has brought the first significant successes to the Czech glass.

This epoch is characterized by big glasses (approximately 0, 7 liter), jugs, tetrahedral bottles and various cups and wine-glasses, as, for example, the so-called “Remer”. Wedding cups were also popular. Since the second half of XVI century, it is possible to speak about the regular export of the Czech glass.

The surface of this glass was ideal for engraving and slotting.

At the end of XVII century glass makers began to make lusters and Czech has turned to the center of the lusters???????? manufacture.
