The story of our family glassworks began in 1988, when a young glassmaking couple decided to create something of their own and different. As interest grew, so did our glassworks. From a small workshop in Doksy to a glassworks decorating glass for the whole world. However, everything changed with the arrival of Covid-19. Closed borders, fear, and suspended orders led to the dismissal of most employees and, above all, the idea of closing the glassworks. The crisis almost destroyed what the Zlatohlávek couple had built. It was then that their son and daughter joined in the desire to continue the family tradition and save their parents' business. Together as a family, they set to work, freeing Czech glass from excess and outdated traditions and focusing on glass that would make people's everyday lives more pleasant. They preserved high-quality, local, handmade production. They created the concept of "dressed" glasses, glass that evokes emotions.
In our family glassworks, customers have the opportunity to take a closer look at the world of glassmaking. We introduce visitors to our glass production from start to finish, introducing them to the glassmakers and their golden Czech hands. We show you the techniques of our glassmaking grandmothers and grandfathers, their charm, and reveal how they fit into the present day. Among other things, our visitors have the opportunity to experience the life of a glassmaker firsthand, trying their hand at hand engraving glass and painting using many techniques. Even the youngest visitors can try their hand at glassmaking, try something new, and, most importantly, take home a magical memory. Our tours are accompanied by the murmur of the Ploučnice River and the singing of birds. Our glassworks is surrounded by a beautiful garden, which is a great place to relax and observe animals.
