JANŠTEJN GLASSWORKS

For more than 200 years, Janštejn Glassworks,

situated in Bohemia’s picturesque Vysočina Region,

has upheld a glassblowing tradition that dates to the

end of the 17th century. Founded in 1809 near the

village of Horní Dubenky, the factory and generations

of tenacious craftspeople employed by it have enjoyed

periods of prosperity, yet have also endured much

hardship, with three devastating fires, two world wars,

and nationalization among the greatest challenges.

Today, Janštejn Glassworks is the largest producer of

specialty lighting glass in the Czech Republic.
