Nizbor Glass Factory

Located less than an hour outside of Prague, the Nizbor Glass Factory is home to Rückl Crystal. This factory carries on the tradition of making high quality Czech glass and crystal, originally known as Bohemian crystal. All stages of production are carried out here, including glass blowing, painting, crackling, and cutting. The Nizbor Glass Factory has an extensive range of cut 24% lead crystal products. Just a few of the things they produce are champagne glasses, bowls, plates, vases, perfume bottles, and lamps. 
Though much of their crystal stays in the Czech Republic, many items are exported to the USA, Japan, Singapore, and several other parts of the world. A portion of the factory is open to tours where visitors can learn all about the 300 year old tradition of Bohemian glass and crystal making. There is also a gift shop where you can purchase some of their beautiful crystal to take home.
