Following the footsteps of famous glass-making families: The Riedels
Petr Nový - From editorial (3.2. 11:19)
The second part – Solid foundations (the first half of the 19th century)
The Riedels are undoubtedly one of the most significant glass-making families of Czech origin. From humble beginnings they managed to build an empire over three generations that dominated the production of glass and jewellery in the Jizera Mountains region, which was one of the most important glass-making enclaves of the world. The story of the Riedels continued even after 1945, when all their property had been confiscated and nationalized. After difficult beginnings, they had found a new home in Kufstein, Austria, and again ranked among famous glass-making businessmen, although they began to focus mainly on hand made beverage glass instead of production of jewellery and decorative or technical glass.

Following the footsteps of the famous glassmaking families: The Wanders
Petr Nový - From editorial (7.11.2011 13:10)
The fifth and final part – From a trade with Turnov stones to a hereditary knighthood
In the 16th century, the Wanders developed among the most important glassmaking families of the Renaissance Bohemia. The fates of the offspring of this family branch show a remarkable journey leading from glassmaking masters and glass painters of the 16th and 17th century to high posts in the government of the Habsburg monarchy in the late 18th and the first half of the 19th century. The final fifth part is devoted to various activities of members of the family from the early 18th to the end of the 19th century.
