They are the world's biggest seed bead makers . They also make lamp-wound beads, including some that have been fraudulently sold as old trade beads in remarkable condition. I plan to start this in 2000. Join the Center now and get it first.
Bohemia is a plateau in central Europe ringed by mountains.
It was an early Celtic region and glass beads were made in southern Bohemia by ca. B.C. Bohemia's power waxed and waned. It was a full member of the Holy Roman Empire and later was incorporated into the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After WW 1 it was united with Moravia and Slovakia into Czechoslovakia. After the fall of Communism in East Europe, Moravia and Bohemia formed the Czech Republic and Slovakia struck out on its own.
