Bohemian glass

Japanese: ボヘミア・ガラス(英語表記)Bohemian glass
Bohemian glass
Glass art developed in the Bohemia region of Central Europe (present-day northwestern Czechoslovakia) from around the 13th century. The tradition is still carried on today in glass art in Czechoslovakia, Austria, Germany, and other countries. Its distinctive feature was the gorgeous engravings and cuts on table glasses made from colorless, transparent Kali Crystal glass. After the 17th century, when it gained fame as Bohemian Baroque glass, Bohemian glass came to dominate the European market, replacing Venetian glass, which had previously monopolized it.

Japanese:
中部ヨーロッパのボヘミア地方(現在のチェコスロバキア北西部地方)で,13世紀ころより発達してきたガラス工芸。その伝統は今日のチェコスロバキア,オーストリア,ドイツなどのガラス工芸に継承されている。その特色は,無色透明のカリ・クリスタル・ガラスを素材に使ったテーブル・グラスに,豪華な彫刻やカットを施した点にあった。ボヘミアン・バロック・グラスとして盛名を馳せた17世紀以降は,ヨーロッパ市場を独占していたベネチア・ガラスにかわって,ボヘミア・ガラスが市場を独占していった。
