Table of Contents
INTRODUCTION
This book is meant to be a companion to and a continuation of Collectible Bohemian Glass 1880-1940. That book primarily deals with the numerous refineries and exporters of glassware and the history of the Bohemian glass industry.
This book concentrates more on the development of the glass and its various styles. By limiting ourselves to the years 1915 to 1945, we can focus on a particular aspect of Bohemian glass which encompasses both the past and the future.
The formation of an entirely new country with an established manufacturing infrastructure gave rise to opportunities that had been previously unthinkable. The birth of the Republic of Czechoslovakia on October 28, 1918 created a foundation upon which a leaner, more cohesive and profitable glass industry could be raised. Despite a shortage of raw material, inflation, and a considerable loss of foreign customers, the industry forged ahead.
Naturally, those firms that dominated the pre-war industry were the first to regain their footing. Loetz, Harrach, Kralik, Riedel and others had the necessary capital and resources to sustain their quality production and reestablish their foreign trade.
In 1922, the Moser firm merged with Meyr\'s Neffe and became one of the largest manufacturing and refining companies. In the short span of 21 years (1918-1939) the reborn Bohemian glass industry captured the hearts and pocketbooks of the world.
The historical and romantic value of the glass produced during that period may never again be equaled. Therefore, we will try to give the reader the information necessary to recognize the glass and know its relevance in history.
