Czech glassware steals the spotlight in Netflix hit movie
A glass factory located in Kunratice put the glass in 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.'

Monumental crystal sculptures made in the Czech Republic are adding to the charm of the "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," a movie that climbed to the top of Netflix streaming charts worldwide.

The sculptures, which in the movie adorn the mansion of the billionaire Miles Bron, played by Norton, were made by the Pačinek Glass factory located in Kunratice. It's safe to say that their presence is the cherry on the cake amid the movie's convoluted twists and turn, which led the Guardian to ask "Are eccentric detectives the new superheroes?" in a review of the movie.

In an Instagram post, the company spoke about its collaboration with master glassmaker Jiří Pačinek and with senior art director John Dexter to create the sculptures that appear in the movie. "It was John Dexter who, for the first time in his life and in his work, entered the glass factory last July and August, and met Jiří Pačinek and his art here," the post reads.
