Step into the world where glass comes to life! In the workshops of Bohemia Glass Clarisima, ordinary glass rods are transformed into handcrafted glass figurines of exceptional detail and elegance. These are not mere decorations – they are collectible masterpieces bearing the mark of authentic craftsmanship. Our master glassmakers passionately create a wide range of themes – from charming animal figures and graceful ballet dancers to dynamic musicians captured in motion. A special category features figurines combining blown glass with pewter elements. Whether you seek a unique gift or bespoke corporate presents, Bohemia Glass Clarisima figurines stand as symbols of enduring value and distinctive style.
How Hot Glass Becomes Lifelike Characters
Glass figurines are more than decor – they are miniature works of art. Unlike blown Christmas ornaments, most are crafted using the lampworking technique (torch work). The glassmaker heats colored glass rods over a flame and shapes them with tweezers, scissors, and molds. The result? Every piece is 100% original.
Why lampworking? It allows for extreme detail – from animal eyes to buttons on a musician’s jacket. Mold-blowing is used for larger series (e.g., nativity scenes).
Glass Figurine Production Techniques
1. Lampworking (Torch Work):
- Glass rod is heated to 800–1,000 °C
- Body, legs, and head are shaped within 2–5 minutes
- Details (eyes, fur) are added using colored glass
- Controlled cooling in an annealing oven takes 4–8 hours (prevents cracking)
2. Mold-Blowing (for larger series):
- Glass is blown into metal molds
- Ideal for nativity scenes, large angels
- Fewer details, but faster production
