Czech hand-made glass production added to UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list

Czech hand-made glass production has been added to the UNESCO world intangible cultural heritage list. The move was made at a UNESCO meeting currently taking place in Botswana.

The nomination was a collaborative effort prepared by six countries, including Czechia, France, Finland, Germany, Hungary, and Spain.

Czechia already has nine items on the prestigious list, including the slovácký verbuňk dance, the Hlinecko region masopust (carnival) processions and masks, the South Bohemian Ride of the Kings tradition, puppeteering and glass-blown Christmas beads.
