Glass Trading
It was also an export network that made the concept of
Bohemian glass known. Its commercial success dates back to 18th
century, when Bohemian-glass syndicates extended from Hamburg and Constantinople
to New York and Mexico. In North Bohemia at this time, glass-makers, who often
alternated between periods of production and commercialisation, could learn more
than ten foreign languages.
In the two pages (buttons at left side of this
page) are listed the names
of the people from Steinschoenau that were carrying out export sales
respectively at the beginning of the 18th century and at the beginning of the
19th century.
