Bohemian Paperweights for Sale
The paperweights on this page are all various Bohemian factories. These factories were made in the glass making regions that are today in the border area between the Czech Republic and Poland. There is documentation to suggest that some of these factories engaged in the manufacture of millefiori as early as 1833. In the past, paperweight collectors identified paperweights from this region as simply Bohemian. More correctly, the glassworks were located in Prussia, Austria, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Paperweights of this type are becoming more in demand as collectors find out more about the various German and Bohemian factories.
For more information, you can read about paperweights from Germany and Bohemia in the book by von Brackel Paperweights: Historicism - Art Nouveau - Art Deco - 1842 to today and in the book by Marek Kordasiewicz Glass Paperweights: The Heritage of the 19th Century Riesengebirge and Isergebirge Glassworks.
