Prague offers great opportunity to do Christmas shopping for fine crystal and porcelain. There are many long established fine porcelain producers in Czech Republic; Royal Dux Bohemia, to name one. Czech porcelain producers date back to the times of porcelain origin in Europe. People employed in the industry are highly skilled craftsmen, but their Czech companies employing them are not so well known in the world. Many major porcelain industry household names subcontract their production to the Czech companies.
