About us

Bohemia porcelain 1987: Where Your Ideas Become Unique Porcelain

We are a family business with a tradition dating back to 1987, and today the third generation continues to carry our passion for craftsmanship forward. We specialize in the decoration and hand-painting of quality porcelain and ceramics. Unlike conventional retailers, we begin decorating only after we receive your order. This allows us to offer you far more than ready-made combinations of products and decorations.

The story of our family manufactory is written directly into our maker's mark. When you turn our porcelain over, the logo tells you everything: the year 1987 marks the founding of our manufactory, three small trees symbolize our strong connection to the Ore Mountains and, at the same time, the third generation that decorates porcelain and ceramics for you today. The letter K represents our family – the Kryls.

From the very beginning, our work has been deeply influenced by our connection with nature, our respect for the environment and our appreciation of tradition. We take pride in uncompromising quality, precise craftsmanship and a personal approach to every customer. Most of our products are available exclusively in this e-shop.

Made-to-Order Decoration

We want every piece to be prepared exactly according to your order, which is why we decorate the porcelain only after receiving your order. Choosing a particular product therefore does not have to be the final decision – it can be the starting point for your own design.

The standard decoration time is 1–2 weeks. If you are in a hurry for a gift, however, we will be happy to try to accommodate a shorter deadline by prior arrangement.

What is TOTAL DESIGN?

With us, an ordinary purchase becomes a creative experience. Our e-shop is not a closed catalogue of a few predetermined combinations. It offers a wide selection of decorations, porcelain shapes and products that you can combine according to your own ideas.

Do you like a particular decoration on a plate? We can apply it to a mug, cup, teapot, bowl or an entire dinner or tea service. Perhaps you have fallen in love with a particular porcelain shape but would prefer it with a different decoration. That is possible too, provided the chosen decoration is suitable for the specific porcelain.

And the possibilities go much further:

  • Flexible Motif Placement: Depending on the possibilities of the particular decoration and porcelain, we can adjust the number, size and placement of the motifs. One motif, two, three or more – the final appearance can be created according to your wishes.
  • Coloured Rims and Other Details: Depending on the porcelain and the chosen motif, coloured rims and other decorative elements can be added or adjusted.
  • Personal Inscriptions: We can personalize porcelain with a name, initials, a dedication or another personal text. A personalized children's dinner set can thus become a truly unique gift.
  • Porcelain Across Our Entire Range: If you like a particular decoration, you do not have to limit yourself to the product on which you see it. Depending on suitability, we can apply the same decoration to other shapes and products from our range.
  • Ceramic Decoration: We apply the same principle to ceramic products, including tiles, light switches, sockets and furniture knobs.

Every piece can become a one-of-a-kind original. Prices for hand-painting, individual motif placement, texts and personal dedications vary according to the complexity and scope of the individual request.

The E-Shop Is the Beginning, Not the Limit of Our Range

What you see in our e-shop is not a complete list of everything we can offer. It is primarily a showcase of decorations, porcelain shapes and ceramic products that we have already created. If you like a particular decoration but would like it on a different product, or if you have your own idea for how it should look, simply include your request with your order or contact us.

There are different decoration and customization options available across the porcelain and ceramics in our range. That is why we assess every request individually and look for a solution that works beautifully on the chosen product, both visually and in terms of craftsmanship.

Visit Our Manufactory

Would you like to see our products in person? We would be delighted to welcome you to our manufactory in Chodov by prior appointment. We will show you the decoration process, introduce you to our decorations and porcelain shapes, and together explore ways to turn your idea into a finished piece.

Our customers greatly appreciate this opportunity – because right here in our manufactory, you can discuss, develop and bring your own ideas and wishes to life together with us.
