This is partly due to the suitable natural conditions, which in the beginning provided almost everything needed for glass production. Above all, however, it was the skill and diligence of the glassmakers who gave their products their excellent qualities. Entrepreneurial traders then made Czech glass a world-famous concept without exaggeration.</p> https://www.erpetcrystal.cz/en/a/history-of-glass-production-in-the-czech-republic fa35e192121eabf3dabf9f5ea6abdbcbc107ac3b Fri, 09 Jul 2021 12:08:52 +0200 <p>Apart from the current Czech hallmarks (see picture above), all hallmarks that were valid in the history of Czechoslovakia and did not express a lower purity than the lowest purity for individual precious metals specified in the Hallmarking Act (§3, paragraph 2) are valid. Thus, the marks of the Austro-Hungarian, Czechoslovak, Protectorate and Slovak State marks. An example is the hallmark called the Čejka, used until 1993 for the 585/1000 purity. However, the hallmarks that were introduced during World War II on Czechoslovak territory occupied by foreign states (Austrian, Polish and Hungarian marks) are not valid. Other valid historical marks are published in the brochure ing. Bouša "List of hallmarks valid on the territory of the Czech Republic", first published in 2008, reissued in 2018. It is available at each PU office and in electronic form.</p> <p></p> https://www.erpetcrystal.cz/en/a/hallmarks-in-the-czech-republic 7b52009b64fd0a2a49e6d8a939753077792b0554 Sat, 22 May 2021 15:31:35 +0200
