The Czech glass industry in Jablonec nad Nisou has been renowned for centuries, producing some of the world's finest glass beads. These molded glass beads were expertly crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The beads were made by pouring molten glass into precision molds, then tumbling and polishing them for a smooth, glossy finish.
Trade beads played a crucial role in West African commerce, especially in Ghana, where they were used as currency, status symbols, and decorative ornaments. The vibrant history of these Czech beads showcases their importance in global trade networks, making them a cherished addition to any collection.
