we were in Prague probably ten years ago. There is quite a lot of cut glass of all kinds in stores and galleries in old town. As with any kind of local speciality you are overwhelmed with choices while there but one home it looks like one a kind we bought a blue glass vase and flowers and leaves that are about 2 feet high. Because they are not crystal they are heavy. Bright color glass purples oranges and vivid greens for the leaves. They were wrapped in bubble wrap and we carried them home. We also bought a chandelier and a cut glass mirror for an entry hall which were shipped home. At the time prices were very good.
And yes teapots. And quite a lot of tea.
