Glass production

Production of glass started in the village in 1833. Products had been transported to several world exhibitions. In the middle of 19th century came to Zlatno Leo Valentin Pantoček. He invented the way how to produce the glass money. Later this technique was named as hyaloplastics. In 1856 followed the invention of iris glass.[1] A lot of production had been exported to United Kingdom and United States.[2] In Zlatno had been a glasswork museum, which, however, ceased to exist. The glass factory stopped its production in 2003. However, several private companies continue in glass production.

gollark: You can't really "prove" things about reality like you can do for maths.
gollark: According to current physical theories; it's not like future ones will *have* to obey all the same conservation laws necessarily.
gollark: It's one of those unfalsifiable things, but you can't say that it *definitely isn't* true because of that.
gollark: Perhaps in the real reality™ atoms don't exist and everything is made of very small bees.
