Bohemian glass is hand-blown by Czech glassblowers from a special composition, which includes not only sand, but also metal oxides, so it is light and crystal clear, just like crystal has reflections in the sun.

The arrangement of crystal glassware is strictly regulated, regardless of shape, size and design. There are two methods (methods) of arranging devices:

Center. Provides for the serving of one drink. Stacks, wine glasses or glasses are placed behind the plate. A prerequisite is placement strictly perpendicular to its center. If alcohol is not provided for by the theme of the meal, but tea or coffee is served, the handles of the cups should be turned to the right.
Right-sided. It is used if the event provides for the serving of several drinks (weddings, anniversaries, banquets, etc.).

Crystal glassware is placed on the right side of the plate. The sequence depends on the size. First, large items are put, then — as volumes decrease. If an event requires additional glasses, the items are placed in several rows. Each of them should contain no more than three items.
