PORCELAIN MANUFACTURY BOHEMIA PORCELAIN 1987
was founded by Mr. Radoslav Kryl, a graduate of the School of Ceramics in Carlsbad in the branch of porcelain decoration who became one of the leading experts in this field, in 1987. His designs of decors on the world-famous pink porcelain from Chodov are still used today, especially his decoration design of the Lenka shape is still very popular with customers. In 1987, the first electric furnace for porcelain decorations was bought and his Trade License for the production and decoration of porcelain acquired – which happened based on the authorization of the Municipal National Committee in Chodov back then. In 2002, the current owner Vratislav Kryl took over the company and followed the family tradition, while nowadays, even the grandson of the founder Daniel Kryl also operates within the company, holding the position of the executive director.
The tradition, the good name of Czech porcelain and our long-term experience with production, decoration and selling of the finest ceramic material inspired us to open this online store of the company. In 2004, we were the first ones to set up an electronic store with porcelain in the Carlsbad Region. We offer only high-quality Czech decorated porcelain, while utilitarian porcelain is largely manufactured or decorated in cooperation with traditional Czech manufacturers of porcelain - Starorolský porcelán Moritz Zdekauer 1810, Český porcelán a.s. Dubí, Thun 1794 and others. All of our offered porcelain is made entirely of Czech materials and it is also referred to as the hard or Carlsbad porcelain because of its composition.
Due to its composition of ceramic material, Czech porcelain is considered to be one of those with the highest quality in the world, while it stands out by its hardness and shard whiteness, high resistance and durability. These characteristics have their basis in the occurrence of high-quality materials in the Czech Republic, especially in the Carlsbad Region (kaolin, quartz, feldspar). Thanks to these characteristics, it can be distinguished from cheap imported porcelain which is more porous, of shorter durability and resembling a stoneware more by its composition. The same ceramic material is used by renowned German porcelain manufactories on the western side of the border, then also the world-famous French porcelain manufactory Limoges and others.
Decoration of branded porcelain is predominantly based on our own designs, and you will find most of our products only in this store due to the concept of maintaining exclusivity.
Over the time, this small family manufactory succeeded in uniting several outstanding persons who belong to the top in this field not just in the Czech Republic, but also abroad, because of their experience and art. This fact is evidenced by a large number of VIP customers – both from abroad (the former US President Bill Clinton, the Norwegian Queen Sonja, the hockey player Ovečkin, the fashion designer Svetlana Tovarci, the embassies of Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, etc.) and from the Czech Republic (prime ministers, ministers, actors, athletes and other celebrities). These usually included special orders, demanding decorations with precious metals and lusters in combination with etchings, colored funds and hand paintings.
