The glassworks that eventually became Franz Welz, was founded in Bohemia in 1728, by the Kopp family. Welz involvement began in 1794, when Vaclav Weltz married Marie Anna Kopp (the "t" was later removed from the family name). In 1894, Franz Welz built a new facility in Klostergrab, which was named Antonienhütte, after his wife Antonie Schreiber. The factory was in production until around the 1930's. Franz Welz glass is most noted for a wide range of colourful artistic glassware produced during the early 1900's.

Burmese glass is a type of art glass that features a distinctive shading effect, transitioning from yellow to pink. It was initially developed by the Mount Washington Glass Company in the 1880s. The unique color change is achieved by reheating the glass, causing a yellow opaque glass to turn pink, and potentially back to yellow with further heating. The original Burmese glass, particularly from Mount Washington and Thomas Webb & Sons, is highly sought after by collectors.
