  • Lithyalin Glass - Lithyalin glass, also known as "Bohemian glass" or "glass porcelain," is a type of decorative glassware that was first produced in Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) in the early 19th century. It is a form of opaque glass that resembles porcelain or agate, and is often characterized by its vivid colors and swirling patterns which are created by manipulating the molten glass as it cools. Glassmakers use a variety of techniques, such as blowing, twisting, and marbling, to create these patterns, which can range from simple swirls to complex designs. .

    Lithyalin glass is made by mixing various metal oxides, such as copper or cobalt, with opaque white glass, and then heating the mixture until it melts and fuses together. The resulting glass is then shaped and polished to create a smooth, glossy finish.
