Antique vintage Czech Bohemian original cabochon hand press molding pliers. Dating from the turn of the century these are traditional cabochon making pliers, used in the times prior to full mechanisation. The actual making of the cabochons at this time, on the whole, remained a cottage industry, in that the pliers and attached molds were bought and used by individuals or families who would work from home to supply the companies that would trade the beads. Each house would have a furnace in which glass rods were heated before the cabochons were individually pressed before being polished by hand.
These are set for pressing 20mm round domed glass cabochons. Stamped with the number 10 to identify the glass size. These are still in working condition, having been used in the latter part of the last century. The surface metal does have some pitting which is to be expected and years of untouched patina.
A nice collectible part of Czech Bohemian glass making history.
