Algerd Crystal Gift Store - Crystal Stemware
Description
In 1749, Duke Vitovt, the descendant of Grand Duke Algerd, founded the Algerd Glass House in an ancient town of Borisov, Belarus to honour his great ancestor. Duke Vitovt began to manufacture crystal of fine quality. Only few European Specialists of that time knew the secrets of mingling minerals with glass. The crystal they created possessed strength and durability and, most wonderful, it shone with a romantic, silvery brilliance. Patience, skill, and personal touch forged a triumph.
In 1917, Algerd Crystal was nationalised by the Soviet Power and renamed the Borisov Crystal Plant. But still it continued to be one of the leading crystal producing companies. Certainly, the economic policy of the USSR didn't favour the development of crystal products and it was against their export outside the USSR.
In 1998, the Borisov Crystal Plant was sold by the government of Belarus to the group of businessmen and the plant became the Joint Venture. On the first annual meeting of shareholders it was unanimously decided to return to history and to rename the plant Algerd Crystal Company. This key event marked a new epoch for Algerd Crystal. Modern technologies, effective management strategies, skilled staff made Algerd Crystal one of TOP crystal producing companies on the territory of the former USSR.
