 BOHEMIAN GLASS IS DEFINED AS GLASSWARE PRODUCED BY ARTISANS OF THE FORMALLY INDEPENDANT COUNTRY OF BOHEMIA ( NOW A LARGE PART OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC )  BOHEMIAN GLASS IS PRIMARILY MADE OF LIME GLASS WHICH WAS INVENTED IN IN THE LATE 17th CENTUARY. LIME GLASS IS STRONG AND CAN STAND UP TO THE STRESS OF THE ENGRAVING TOOLS USED BY ARTISTS TO CREATE DESIGNS UNIQUE TO BOHEMIAN GLASS. BOHEMIAN GLASS OBJECTS WERE DIPPED INTO MOLTEN COLOURED GLASS BEFORE THEY WERE ENGRAVED. THE MOST COMMONLY PRODUCED COLOUR WAS RUBY RED. BY THE LATE 1800s BOHEMIAN GLASS WAS PRODUCED IN ENGLAND, GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND.
