The Art Deco influence is very strong since this was the period when Art Deco was popular. Also the Egyptian influence because of the opening of Tutankhamen's Tomb 1922-23.
In 1918, at the end of World War I, the Paris Peace committee created a new country with the Bohemia, Moravia, and Austrian Silesia sections of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a northern strip of Hungary. The committee named the new country Czecho-Slovak Republic, with a hyphen. Most of the people in these areas were the Czechs (Bohemians) and Slovaks, thus the name Czecho-Slovakia. In 1920, the name Czechoslovakia (without hyphen) was introduced. From now on, the word “Czechoslovakia” appeared on pottery marks. The well-known BIHL Czechoslovakia back-stamp was introduced in this period. In addition, most Bohemian cities and towns changed names.
