Artel is an American company that operates in the Czech Republic and is sold around the world. Started by designer Karen Feldman who originally moved to the Czech Republic to manage a shampoo factory and then quickly fell in love with early 20th century Czech glass, Artel glass products are top quality and made the old fashioned way, by hand. The company offers stemware, decorations, plates and much more, each made lovingly by hand and each offering a whimsical motif. Proof of high quality and smart design are the partnerships Artel keeps with Scully & Scully, Niemen Marcus and Harrods as well as having the golden opportunity of designing commemorative glassware for the 100-year anniversary celebration of Rolls Royce. Artel Design shop is an intimate fun place where not only can you gaze at the beautiful glassware and purchase some to cherish for years, you can also find funky antiques and cool jewelry.
