The term Turnovská kompozice (Turnov composition) has been introduced for the coloured glasses that were used in the Turnov region for grinding of jewellery and gemstones imitating natural precious stones. The local “soft stones” as the glass compositions were called were very popular not only in Bohemia but also abroad. The latest documented find from Slovakia is represented by rosettes excavated at Levoča in 2001. The History of Glass Symposium in 2006 has classified them to be a Turnov glass composition.
