About RÜCKL

Cut lead crystal | Bohemian craftsmanship | 300 year old tradition in glassmaking RÜCKL CRYSTAL is connected to a 300 year long tradition in glass making as a family. The glass making family Rückl came to Bohemia at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, most probably from what is now Switzerland. The glasswork was built in Nižbor near Beroun in 1903 and has been operating since. In the interwar period the plants produced virtually the entire range of home and decorative glassware; that being crystal glass and lead crystal, clear or coloured, cut, polished or painted. The glassworks’ good name, both at home and abroad, was supported by their serious social policy and successful cooperation with artists, prestigious drinks and decorative glass designers, among whom were professor Drahoňovský and Ludvika Smrčková. The quality of the work and the extensive range of goods placed the Nižbor glassworks among the best for cut lead crystal in the Czech Republic. Guided tours are organised of the production plants at the glassworks.
