    Keramika V Ungeltu

    This little shop in a corner of the Týn Courtyard is a good place to look for both traditional Bohemian pottery and modern blue-and-white wares, as well as wooden toys and marionettes, at prices up to 25% lower than at many other outlets in Staré Město.

    Material

    Material puts a modern twist on the Czech crystal industry, with its oversized contemporary vases, bowls and Dale Chihuly-like ornaments, candleholders, chandeliers and glasses. The firm boasts its 'drunken sailor' glass is spill-proof. Yet, despite well-spaced displays, it's a store where you immediately fear breaking something - and when you check the prices you realise you should!

    Qubus

    This small design studio looks more impressive online than in the flesh, but Qubus – run by leading Czech designers Maxim Velčoský and Jakon Berdych – is worth a visit if you’re interested in cutting-edge household accessories ranging from ‘liquid lights’ (lamps in the form of teardrops) to crystal wine glasses in the shape of disposable plastic cups. Whatever floats your avant-garde boat…

    Manufaktura

    There are several Manufaktura outlets across town, but this small branch near the Old Town Square seems to keep its inventory especially enticing. You'll find great Czech wooden toys, beautiful-looking (if extremely chewy) honey gingerbread made from elaborate medieval moulds, and seasonal gifts such as hand-painted Easter eggs.
