What is the difference between Venetian and bohemian glass?

The main difference between Venetian and bohemian glass is style. While the Venetian style includes a lot of complex painting, bohemian style uses more melting techniques and a bolder style of painting. Venetian works are usually more expensive and not so commercially produced as bohemian glass dishes. This makes the green -tinted glass that is used for common daily objects. Bohemians began to blow glass for trade in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Venice was the main commercial center for glass starting in the thirteenth century. Most of the Venetian glass was made on the nearby island of Murano and the Venetian greenhouse was founded in 1291. Although the Venetians tried to maintain this technique, the Czechs also accepted it. However, Venetian and bohemian styles of painting were very different. For example, families such as Schurers of Northern Bohemia have become famous for melting the blue cobalt glass, while the Venetian slides are known for their finer and less bold patterns.

Czech is now known for the production of crystals than Venice. The glass becomes a crystal when lead oxide (PBO) is added to basic glass minerals with dirt, such as iron, refined from it. Crystal has maximum cleanliness and brilliance, whether it is present or not. However, PBO affects the shelf life of the crystal and helps in its ease of trimming. Today, the European Union (EU) considers PBO 4% or higher to be a crystal and less than 4% as glass.

"Overshot Glass" is a lively, textured material that was first created in the 16th century Venice and then became popular in Bohemia and other countries. IT is created by taking hot glass drops and rolling them to finely ground shards, and then heating the shards enough to melt all the sharp edges. Today, most Venetian glass is produced by artists and is more expensive than bohemian glass, which are often produced in bulk.
