Ivo, I know this isn't it, but I thought it worth adding as you may be interested anyway.  Also perhaps Sweden may be another area to investigate?

Excellent  :)  I suppose that is what helps with having the glass in your hand, as I would have said the only similarities between the two pieces was that they both had cork stoppers and were both clear glass.
