Lithyalin and glazed glass of Friedrich Egermann and Buquoy Hyalit glass - a phenomenon of the Biedermeier and the Second Rococo era in the Czech lands.
Schneiderová, Daniela ; Schöttner, Jan (advisor) ; Wittlich, Filip (referee)
This thesis examines a specific part of the Czech glass production from twenties to forties of the 19th century. It focuses specifically on the production of glassworks at Novohradsko in South Bohemia where the black and red hyalit glass was been made. Next it examines the works of glass technologist Bedřich Egermann in Polevsko and (Nový) Bor, where he rediscovered and implemented the production of glaze refined glass and also discovered and made the first lithyalin glass. These new made or rediscovered technological methods reflected the change of taste in the Biedermeier and Second Rococo era when the glass production in the Czech lands has reached world class. Not only that it could cope with current English and French production, but it surpassed them in many regards. Producing opaque and glazed glass was a significant deed that contributed to increasing the reputation of already great Czech glassmaking in this era.

Slívková, Hana ; Šmied, Miroslav (advisor) ; Sojka, Jaroslav (referee)
Chateau Zákupy under influence of Ferdinand V This bachelor's thesis focuses on Ferdinand V. and his reign on chateau Zákupy, which is the main subject of my interest and of this work. Because Ferdinand V. had a major importance in the Zákupy region, I dedicated part of this work to his life and reign. Ferdinand V. was the last crowned Czech king and he chose chateau Zákupy as his major summer residence. As the chateau was supposed to represent his person and status properly, it was rebuilt by significant artists and craftsmen of its time. This work is focusing on the original state of the chateau Zákupy, its reconstruction, equipment and decoration.
