Karolinka etched crystal
 
I'm looking for an English-speaking factory contact in Karolinka (preferably an e-mail and phone number). I am looking for wine and water glasses to match some I received as a gift. They are delicate, light weight crystal with etching filled in lightly with gold. A small oval label was marked Karolinka. Any help appreciated. They sound similar to the ones Maria described in her post this month. Reply to: [email protected]

You might find some information from Karolinka's web site. There is a link to a local information centre which may be able to help.

5 years and I am still looking. We plan to visit CZ this summer so I am searching for an English-speaking factory contact for Karolinka (preferably an e-mail and phone number). I am looking for wine and water glasses to match some I received as a gift c2000. They are delicate, light weight crystal with etching filled in lightly with gold. A small gold oval label was marked Karolinka. Any help appreciated. Reply to: [email protected]

I hope your persistence pays off!

I suspect you've already checked Replacements.com, but just in case.... I looked up Karolinka on its web site just now, and didn't see anything, but I once found some crystal that I inherited from a grandmother by paging through its listings. It was tedious, but worth it in the end!

Also, I bought some crystal while in Prague many years ago. I stopped in several shops, and in each, found English-speaking salesman who seemed knowledgeable about crystal from various parts of the country and various manufacturers. (But I could be wrong - I didn't have a good base of information against which to evaluate their words.) Still, it might be worth of few hours of your time.

Good luck!

Anything like these glasses? You can send them an email from the web site.

Apparently Crystalex owns Karolinka.
