100 years of the Republic - Dining at Prague Castle

Dining is one of the most important manifestations of material culture. At
state dinners the quality of the porcelain and glass used represents a
given state. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of
Czechoslovakia, we have prepared a photo gallery, documenting the porcelain
and glass dining sets used by Czechoslovak and later Czech presidents. They
did not necessarily change with every administration, changes in the
porcelain, glass and silverware used were usually related to a change of
state symbols. So how was the Czech Republic – a country with a long tradition in the
production of glass and porcelain - represented at the highest tables in
the land?
