MANUFACTURED BY HAND IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC WITH A CENTURY TRADITION
KVĚTNÁ 1794 is one of the oldest glassworks in Central Europe. The glassworks specializes in blown, hand-shaped glass, which is decorated by grinding, etching, painting, matting, engraving and sandblasting. For more than 200 years, the glassworks has been producing drinking and decorative glass of classic and modern shapes according to the designs of leading artists in 16 basic colors. Czech crystal from Květná is exported to many countries around the world. The glassworks cooperates with leading Czech and European designers.
Our glass is world-leading, mainly thanks to the highest quality raw materials, lead-free glassware and hand-crafting. But there are a few practices that, if followed, will keep you happy for a long time.
And these are:
Wash gently. What does that mean? You can wash glasses without fear of them turning grey in the dishwasher, but you should always use the gentle programme and make sure that the glass cannot be mechanically damaged in the dishwasher - that is, that it is correctly positioned, that it does not touch other dishes and that the washing arms do not catch on it. It is not recommended to wash thick-walled containers such as decanters, vases and jugs in the dishwasher. For a perfect wash, just soak them in warm water with a bit of detergent, and for hard-to-reach dirt, our debris cleaner will do the trick.
Avoid poor polishing. Before polishing your glass, please watch the short instructional video for all the information you need.
Avoid large temperature changes. Rapid alternation of heat (warm water) and cold (cold water, ice) are not good for glass. Therefore, try not to expose glasses or jugs to temperature fluctuations.
And that's it! By following these three principles, we believe that glass from Květná will keep you happy for a long time.
