Take our invitation to the world's best hot shops and glass cutters workshops. The trip is suitable also for seniors or large guys. No longer walking demanded. Visit the workshop of master Jiri Pacinek where the glass sculptures for the Netflix movie Glass Onion were made. In the second half of the 17th century, crystal-clear glass began to be melted on Czech territory, which by its clarity, radiance and hardness was suitable for engraving and grinding. Bohemian crystal became so demanded in the world that in the first half of the 18th century Bohemia became the most important exporter of glass in the world.
