Short History of: Bohemian Paperweights It’s sometimes said that the first glass makers of paperweights were from Bohemia. I am sure if they were not the first Art Glass Paperweight makers, they were certainly the second ones to Venice Glass Makers. Glass Maker History back in the early to mid-1800’s was a bit sketchy, but it’s widely believed that Bohemian weights were made from 1840’s to present. They made many different types of weights and most antique ones were unsigned and simply attributed to Bohemian Glass Makers. Bohemian weights also encompassed a wide geographic area of Europe, that might have covered Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Slovakia areas by today's map.
