Kosta Boda

This tiny little shop feels more like a gallery of fine sculpture than a commercial enterprise - and some of these pieces on sale easily could fit on a museum shelf for their beauty alone. The shelves are filled with crystal-wrapped art, from female figures to animals to abstract shapes to Picasso in crystal. Prague has always been famous for its Bohemian crystal, but Kosta Boda have elevated it to an art form. Unfortunately, such delicacies are not for the broke - a Picasso in crystal might cost you nearly as much as a Picasso on canvas.

We purchased a crystal pendant in black/clear depicting the profile of a female. It is truly an unusual peice and as such attracts many compliments.
The really amazing items were violine, saxaphones, artist pallet and many more, almost two thirds in actual size in the most beautiful colours. One day we will return and hopefully aquire such a peice.
