The history of this family business dates to 1910 when Václav Berger founded a company specialising in making and selling blown glass beads in Bílá Třemešná. He started making Christmas ornaments in the 1930s and exported them to both Europe and the US. Václav’s son Josef Berger was the first to use the metal cap to hang the balls on the Christmas tree – and it remains the most frequently used way even today. The company was nationalized in 1948. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 the founder’s granddaughter Miroslava Juklová together with her husband Miloš Jukl renewed the family tradition in Dvůr Králové nad Labem. The company operates a shop and offers guided tours.
