Selling has been concentrated on Ebay  and Etsy  in the past, but the lauch of our new website is the latest innovations for this family run business. History of Jablonec

Vintage and antique Czech glass has a certain charm and quality. The majority of the glass we have is between 70 and 120 years old. Manufacturing of special beads and buttons in the early days was done by homeworkers in one of the hundreds of back garden factories. Everything was made by hand and then sold to one of the largest distribution companies. As a consequence, many of our products will have a hand finished look.

In addition, with the turbulent politics of the former Czech Republic, huge caches of beads and buttons were stored in attics and basements, and they had to endure weather and stress like the rest of us. If you are looking for modern perfection, uniformity and mass production, maybe our website is not for you. We make no apologies as we believe our products have a unique quality and charm found only in true vintage and antique glass.

Please enjoy browsing the store and feel free to send any questions, suggestions or requests.
