Mucha medallion - a rare find.
Rare Find - Vintage Glass Medallion In 2004, on a trip to the Czech Republic, we stopped in Jablonec nad Nisou, which is the center of glass bead and jewelry production for Europe. We normally go there to the factories to start production on our next line of beads for the new year, which we showcase at the big Tucson gem and mineral shows in February. On this trip, however, we investigated antique shops; since Jablonec is over 800 years old as a functioning town, and been in the glass production business, and specifically the glass bead business since the 1700’s, it made sense to see what we could find hidden away and forgotten.
