  • Collecting Ancient Glass Beads - Long before gemstones were faceted or pearls were cultured, ancient glass beads ranked on a par with the most precious gems. Beads of all kinds have been traded, collected, and treasured throughout human history. Beads are one of the oldest forms of art. They have been used for tens of thousands (some say hundreds of thousands) of years. A tenth century Arab once said that the Vikings would "go to any length to get hold of colored beads".
  • Rene Lalique: Art Nouveau, Symbolism And Naturalism - Whilst Rene Jules Lalique’s childhood years seem to be shrouded in somewhat of a mystery, it is known that he was born to Jules and Olype Berthellemy Lalique on the 6th April 1860. For the first two years of his life the family lived in Ay, in the Champagne region of France, about a hundred miles to the northeast of Paris. By 1862 the family had moved to Paris where his father worked as a merchant dealing in novelties.
  • Dorotheenhütte: Hidden Gem Of The Black Forest - Germany’s Black Forest hides many delightful secrets amid its thick foliage.

Proudly known as the ‘Black Forest’s only hand-blown glass factory’, Dorotheenhütte walks its guests through 2,000 years of glass history.
