Heinrich Hoffman, a glassworker Czech in Paris

Once upon a time there was a famous Czech glassworker named Heinrich Hoffmann.

At the beginning of the 20th century, to be closer to the Parisian fashion, he settled down rue de Bretagne where he opened a shop selling stones, beads and other glass items.

But one day, the mark with the butterfly just vanished. Fortunately the Maison LUKES had the good idea to keep in an attic some vestiges of their productions.

They bear testimony of this craftsman’s great creativity. We share here some pictures.
