"In the greatest period in the history of glassworks
(in the first half of the 19th century), there were more than
60 glassworks in the area of Bohemia and Silesia. ...The development
of glassmaking in the area of Riesengebirge and Isengebirge was
accompanied by a strengthening of dynasties of the glassworks
owners. The most famous dynasty in Bohemia was the family of
Riedels. In the Silesian part of Riesengebirge it was the family
of Preusslers who had the greatest glassmaking traditions. The
members of this family had set up glassworks since the beginning
of the 17th century."-Glass Paperweights: The Heritage
of the 19th Century Riesengebirge and Isergebirge Glassworks. |
