Fire-Polished Czech Glass
History
Glass production began in the Czech Republic (Bohemia) as early as the 12th Century. The technique of fire-polishing glass beads started four centuries later. In Jablonec, a small village a few hours north of Prague, the idea took root.
In the late 1920s, they became the top glass bead exporter worldwide. Today, the Czech Republic continues to lead the glass bead-making industry.
How They are Made
The first step is to combine hot glass with different metal oxides to create the desired colour. Then machines press the hot, softened glass into bead molds.
Finishing Touches
Next, they grind tiny facets into the cooled glass. These angled cuts are what will reflect the light. Next, they directly apply fire to the faceted beads. This step is the traditional fire-polishing method. It gives them a smooth, scratch-resistant finish. Finally, they coat some of them with a finish.
