Half of them manufactured glass of very high quality. The amount of manual work involved gave these products a added dimension of luxury, which is the reason why they were called luxury glass. Among these were the companies of Johann Lötz Witwe, Ludwig Moser und Söhne and Karl Palda. Later focused his production on the highly stylised art deco set which was enhanced by the use of strong contrasts achieved by black, yellow and red colours.Karl PaldaThe firm of Karl (or Carl or Karel) Palda was founded in 1888 in Haida, Nový Bor, Bohemia. Little is known of their development, but from their 50th anniversary catalogue of 1938 - which showed a huge range of glassware, including items similar to this - it is obvious that they co-operated closely with glass schools and other manufacturers and were well-respected refiners and exPrice on Requestters of high quality glassware. Also at Haida in Northern Bohemia was a Technical College for Fine and Commercial Art, which became well respected for the fine quality art glass produced by senior students and professors. Items produced were sold through commercial glass factories such as that of J Oertel & Co at Haida.The Haida Staatsfachschule at Haida, Nový Bor, Bohemia was operating from 1870 until possibly the 1920s.
