Zenkner glassworks - Bohemia.
Zenkner Glassworks - Bohemia. Glassworks were scattered all over the Jizera Mountains of Northern Bohemia by the 1600's, in small villages with names like Josephthal, Hut, Gablonz, Pencin, Antoniwald, Morchenstern, Daubitz, Haida, Bedrichov, Harrachdorf and many others. Hundreds of them. Mostly small, but some quite large that employed hundreds of workers. Some continued on into the present day, like the Friedrich Glassworks in Chribska (closed now since 2012 but under new ownership), or the glassworks in Harrachov (now the oldest continuously operating glassworks in Czech Republic), but most opened, made glass rods, cups, bowls, window panes, beads, buttons and bangles, then sold, changed ownership, went bankrupt or closed down. Most of the support villages would have been abandoned along with the closed factory, as there would be no other need for a village. Written records housed in Government archives and museums have kept some of them alive, along with pieces on display in such museums as the Jablonec Museum of Glass and Jewelry which document the makers of each piece, but for the most part these glassworks and their owners have vanished from our memories.
