The western glass region of Czechoslovakia, formerly an independent kingdom, later a region of the Austro-Hungarian empire which became part of the newly formed country after World War 1 ended in 1918. Glass of every description has been produced there since the 14th century. The industry was nationalized by the Communist government in 1946. It is sad that after 600 years of glass making history, only two names are recognized by most American glass collectors. Those are Moser (pronounced Mózer) and Loetz(or Lötz).
