History-
Heinrich Hoffmann (1875 – 1939) and Henry Schlevogt (1904 – 1984) are relatives thanks to the marriage of the second to the daughter of the first, both artists, established in Gablonz in North Bohemia, can hardly be considered separately, because they worked in continuity, sometimes with the same design molds, which were all exclusively pressed by the powerful family glassworks of Josef Riedel established in Polaun (Polubný).

Heinrich Hoffmann opened a shop selling glass jewellery in Paris on the turn of century. After studying glassmaking in Gablonz he widened the range of his products to decorative pressed molds and flacons due to the impulse given to this artistic direction by René Lalique. See less
