Czechoslovakia was a country from 1918-1938 and again from 1945-1992. This brooch hails from the first iteration of the country dating it to approximately the late 1920s to mid-1930s. Jewelry made in this time period using faceted glass is known as Bohemian Glass as the region was the center of production.
