The garden furniture from plastic is not so modern this season. Natural materials are in fashion. The so-called sans serif furniture becomes especially fashionable. The qualitative, sound wooden furniture frequently speaks about a high social status of its owner. Its major advantage is an ecological compatibility.

Now the most progressive public buys archaic wooden chairs and the armchairs cut from trunks of the big diameter with a great pleasure. The most valuable is an expressiveness of the rough, almost raw texture, and various defects, for example, cracks and knots are emphasized in every possible way.

When it is necessary, such furniture it is artificially olden: the tree, beaten by bugs, is filled with a special dust, and from above it becomes covered by the structure protecting it from rotting. The “ecological” furniture reminds very much museum subjects of a country life. And in it its main glamour!

MODERNIST STYLE of END XIX-of the BEGINNING of XX CENTURY
Stylization of the nature finds a new application in the glass-making industry. The linearity, poured with color scale and plainness, is preferred. All this can be applied in the art of the glass-making. On glass there are metal lusters, the twisted irises; flower patterns prevail in motives and forms.
Alongside with the French and American glass in a modernist style of the end of XIX century- the beginning of the XX centuries, the Czech glass in the same style belongs to the best glass that has ever been created in the world.
The key value for the achievement of success in glass-making industry in a modernist style had cooperation of the glass-makers with the best artists and painters.
XX-XXI CENTURY
In the XX century glass-making has gone through more radical restructurings, than ever before. Manufacturing, which earlier depended on the qualified manual skills, varied in process of gradual introduction of the automation, strongly taken a place in the manufacture of glass tare and technical glass, and later- in the manufacturing of dishcloth glasses.
The greatest event in the history modern glass industry was the exhibition which has opened in Paris (1925), and the exhibitions in Bruxelles (1935) and again in Paris (1937). Since the end the fiftieth and the beginning of sixtieth years of the XX century the cooperation of manufacturers of glass with artists is still developing.

ROCOCO AND CLASSICISM
The change of two styles-a rococo and classicism-has occurred during short time. The rococo, in its form of the presentation, was close to a late baroque. In the early beginning, classicism comprised the elements of the Antiques and the Renaissance. The glass, on appearance faultlessly imitated jewels. It became an ideal material for imitation of precious ornaments and at the same time the base on which manufacture of the costume jewellery was developed.
It was the revival of enamel paints of the glass and the products of this magnificent glass became available to ordinary people. Snuffboxes in the form of glass vials, bottles for moonshine and the glass painted pictures created on various motives, became very popular.
ROMANTICISM AND HISTORICISM
This epoch is characterized by the invention of the glass imitated semiprecious stones -red and black hyalite, based on characteristic for an empire style semi-precious stones and minerals.
The most important discovery in the glass-making industry was a red florid prograss decorated by an engraving.
Almost all and glass-making factories produced suspension brackets for lusters. By the end of XIX century lusters in Venetian style with the multi-color thermally formed colors were in the great demand.

Renaissance style

Renaissance became important critical moment in the development of the European glass, considered from the technological and art points of view. The Venetian glass, on which for the first time there was colored enamel, has played a key role in it. It was the beginning of the era of present color glass,decors’ implementation, and the engraving.

Czech glass makers aspired to open know-how of the Venetian glass and to imitate this glass. They have learned better, than in the past, to cook and clear the glass, to make new patterns and to use new kinds of techniques (the implementation of strings and sticks, an engraving a diamond edge, painting and bake out of the enamel paints). The painting of the enamel has brought the first significant successes to the Czech glass.

This epoch is characterized by big glasses (approximately 0, 7 liter), jugs, tetrahedral bottles and various cups and wine-glasses, as, for example, the so-called “Remer”. Wedding cups were also popular. Since the second half of XVI century, it is possible to speak about the regular export of the Czech glass.

Baroque style

After the end of Thirty-year war the best experts, technologists and artists have appeared in the glass making. Popularity of dressing has led to attempts to improve the quality of the glass which would replace expensive rock crystal. The success has not kept waiting. Czech masters made a strong, thick-walled, but thus the transparent and sparkling glass till now bearing a designation «the Czech crystal».

The surface of this glass was ideal for engraving and slotting.

At the end of XVII century glass makers began to make lusters and Czech has turned to the center of the lusters’ manufacture.

GOTHIC STYLE
The oldest finds of glass beads in territory of the historical Czech areas concern to an early bronze age when this territory has been inhabited by the Celts, known techniques of glass making and drawings of enamel. Slavonic people lodged on these grounds in V and VI centuries B.C. As archeological finds testify, glass beads were very popular among them. Benedicts’ monasteries were, obviously, engaged in the manufacture of glass. Monks owned skill of painting on the glass and drawing up of compositions of a color windowpane of which stained-glass windows were done. During an epoch of a Gothic style these stained-glass windows represented the important component of architecture of cult constructions. In medieval Czech glass-makings masters were able to cook and almost colorless glass. The glass which has been painted over various oxides of metals was also made.
The assortment of medieval glass was rather rich; it included both usual production, and unique subjects. Medieval Czech glass-makers could both do typical products, graceful glasses from the transparent glass, usually decorated with pasted on them beads, and bottles with the necks formed of several bound tubules, referred to “cutrolf” and served for drinking of moonshine and wine.
Special vessels for medieval doctors and druggists were also produced. The glass mosaic “Terrible court” testifies to exclusively high degree of development medieval Czech glass-making. Nowadays this mosaic decorates Golden Gate of a St. Vitt Cathedral in the Prague Hailstones, made under the order of so known “Sacred Roman empire” ruler and Czech King Charles IV (1370-1371).
