Summary
About the place: Dalešice is a small submontane municipality in the Jablonec nad Nisou District of the Liberec Region, located in the Jičín Uplands roughly 4 km south of Jablonec nad Nisou. Historically part of the Český Dub estate, the village has long been associated with traditional regional glassmaking and costume jewelry production.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three horizontal stripes: red, blue, and red in a width ratio of 2:1:2. In the upper red stripe, two white pearls are threaded onto a horizontally oriented white glassmaking needle. In the lower red stripe, there are horizontally oriented white glassmaker's pinching pliers. The ratio of the flag's width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The symbols and colors derive from the municipal coat of arms and commemorate the village's rich heritage of glassmaking and costume jewelry production in the Jablonec region. The glassmaker's pinching pliers (used in local pressing workshops known as drikety) and the glassmaking needle threaded with glass beads ("Dalešice pearls") represent the historical manufacture of pressed glass beads. The red and blue colors correspond to the tinctures of the municipal arms.
