I really can't recommend this book enough to enthusiasts of Sklo Union (Czech) glass.  Representing the culmination of 10 years work by the author, Marcus Newhall, it cements his reputation as one of the leading experts on Czech pressed glass.  

'Sklo Union - Art Before Industry' contains a wealth of previously unpublished information about the history, design, manufacture and production of Czech glass and is complimented by Simon Bruntnell's breathtaking photography.  Hard-backed, it comes with a searchable CD-rom containing copies of original catalogues and a database of over 4,500 images.

An essential addition to the library of all Sklo Union and Czech pressed glass collectors - I simply don't know how I managed for so long without it!

Retro Glass - Sklo Union (Czech)
Here we are proud to offer an exciting selection of the fabulous retro pressed glass from the Sklo Union glass works, Czechoslovakia and dating mostly from the 1960s and 1970s.

Sklo Union, formed in 1965, consisted of a number of Czech glassworks including Hermanova Hut, Rosice, Libochovice and Rudolfova Hut and were responsible for producing incredibly modernist designed glassware, seemingly way ahead of their time, and designed by legendary names such as Frantisek Vizner, Vladislav Urban, Rudolf Jurnikl, Adolf Matura and Frantisek Peceny amongst others.

This is an area of glass we are hugely excited about and believe will become increasingly more appreciated, documented and collected as time goes on. Our very grateful thanks to Marcus Newhall, researcher and writer for his very generous assistance in helping us to learn more about this fascinating area of glass and, of course, his friendship. We are very pleased to announce that Marcus' long awaited book 'Sklo Union, Art Before Industry: 20th Century Czech Pressed Glass' was launched recently and is now available for purchase at www.sklounion.com. It is packed with stunning photographs and essential information and comes with an Interactive CD Rom containing a searchable reference library of over 4500 pieces. Get your copy today!
