Glass
The VOTOČEK company produces hand-decorated glass, which is made up of several coloured layers. The relief decoration is created gradually by gently removing the upper colour layer. The crystal glass is decorated with Art Nouveau ornaments. The products could be created thanks to the high level of Czech glassmaking and good knowledge of Czech and French Art Nouveau glass.
Metal Uniques
Decors with female figures, flowers and ornament are the most common decorative elements of Art Nouveau. The parts of the products are cast from Britannia-metal alloy into moulds made of special rubber. The cast and machined metal parts are welded using a flame and fusion welding compound to the final shape.The product is then sanded, bath-finished and polished. The entire production is entirely by hand and is extremely demanding in terms of precision and quality in every manufacturing operation. These unique metal pieces are produced in small batches and are signed with the company logo
