We truly have to thank you for the wonderful day spent with you and your employees, who showed great patience and deep knowledge of the craft. We learned a lot, and everyone was very satisfied —it even inspired them to return to your glassworks with their families. Of course, we also did some enthusiastic shopping at your company store.

Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of visiting your glassworks. I would like to thank you for the amazing experience, both at the hot shop and the grinding workshop. I also want to express my gratitude for delivering our pieces from the hot shop and for the individual approach – the perfectly packed ornaments have already arrived. We had a wonderful time with you, and I believe it won’t be the last. Wishing you a beautiful holiday season and all the best in the New Year!

I would like to thank you once again for the opportunity to visit your glassworks. We really enjoyed both the tour and, especially, the two workshops. I even bought and brought back home to Moravia two beautiful large vases (from your sister glassworks).

Thank you again for a very professional approach and a very beneficial workshop! We would like to thank the two lady guides and the glassworks workers who took care of the children. We will definitely recommend the program further.

An educational excursion especially for children. At school they learn about glassworks and don't know what it's all about. The tour, combined with blowing and cutting, is an experience for both children and adults.

We enjoyed the tour with our colleagues as teambuilding, because you will not find bigger heartthrobs than the local employees in the world. A must is to try and cut your own glass.

From today's tour of Rückl, we were thrilled! The very kind ladies in the shop who willingly advised us on everything, the great guide, and at the end, we tried a glass cutting. We will definitely come back; it's an experience! ✨
