The Ajka Crystal Factory was established in 1878, manufacturing the finest in crystal tableware, gifts and art pieces. It holds a heritage and artistry that has been cultivated for over 130 years. Ajka Crystal manufactures for the elite brands in the tabletop industry, as well as for the most exclusive luxury retailers in the world. Our 1400+ client list includes every major brand of crystal found in the finest stores in the USA and abroad; you likely already own a product that was manufactured by us. You will find our products to be of the highest quality and of the most astute design.
Ajka Crystal is internationally known for refreshingly different, handmade, hand cut and hand engraved crystal. Our products are available in clear lead crystal, cased, double cased and cameo crystal. We also manufacture using Pate de Verre technology. As all of our products are handmade, from the blowing of the glass to the engraving, each of our products is a masterpiece.
When you hold a piece from The Romanov Collection in your hand, not only are you touching a masterpiece, but also the heart of the master. Every single piece reflects the knowledge of the master and the value of the experience of the creation. Real crystal is an ornament on every table. The form and quality of crystal gives honor to the drink. The brilliance of the crystal bring enjoyment to the eyes, the tone is a melody for the ears. Wherever crystal is present, there is tradition, beauty, and value.
96% of the products produced at Ajka are exported. While most of Ajka’s products are exported to the USA and Western Europe (UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France), Ajka Crystal is also sought after in Japan and in Southeastern Asia. The Ajka Crystal factory employs hundreds of skilled and passionate individuals, each a true master of his craft.
Our Products
Crystal
The Romanov Collection by Ajka Crystal embodies the highest standard of luxury. Our handmade crystal carries 200 years of tradition; during this time our manufacturing processes have become the most refined and of the highest quality in the industry. The name Ajka is synonymous with good taste, high design and quality, luxury tableware. Every major brand turns to our artisans when they need to achieve the highest quality.
Our tableware and decor products, (cups, glass, carafes, bottles, vases, bowls and other gift ware) made from lead crystal are available in 17 to 20 colors. All our pieces are made exclusively by hand.
The life of our products begins with meticulous and precise planning. After a piece is designed it is blown from molten glass by one of our master glass blowers into a wooden form. The glass takes its intended shape inside the wooden form. The glass is then cooled continuously for hours. After cooling comes a quality control inspection at which time products of adequate quality continue to the etching salon, where the appropriate design is hand etched onto each product by our etching artists. After a product is completed it makes its way into our stylish gift boxes.
Pate de Verre- Crystal Sculpture
Our Pate de Verre (glass granules melted into a mold) and our cast items (glass block melted into a mold) represent a unique and valuable aesthetic in the industrial arts. The sculptures and figurines designed by our artists are handmade, and produced and sold in limited edition quantities.
Cameo Crystal
Cameo Crystal is layered or cased crystal made of 2 or more layers of crystal. The designs on cameo crystal have significant relief as outer layers of glass are partially removed to create a delineated silhouette against the contrasting background color. This type of crystal was particularly popular in the XIX Century England.
Porcelain
Ajka Crystal's china painting studio employs skilled, professional and talented artists. One of Ajka’s premier china painting artists, Joseph Csiszar, won the gold medal at the 1981 World's Fair with his hunting themed china pattern. He has designed over 2000 beautiful patterns for Ajka.
Our artists use primarily French china from Limoge, Hollóházi china from Hungary, as well as high quality German china on which they paint their own designs as well as patterns ordered by our customers. Most popular among Ajka’s painted china products are the full 24 piece sets such as the one pictured on the left which was created for the British royal family. Our smaller painted items such as tea sets are more popular in Japan, while our larger items such as our floor vases are more in demand in the USA.
Ajka is proud to manufacture painted china for the British Royal Family, John Jenkins, Augarten and Faberge.
