Ivo, it's a complete long shot but in the book Das Bohmische Glas band III Historismus, page 141 shows a bearded male figure full length on a square plinth.  He is not your figure,  but the description says:
'III. 186 Figurenplastik

Glasschmelze und Pressvorgang Firma Joz. Riedel, Polaun, vermutlich 1878
H 17,5 cm
Inv. No. Ho 65 261

Vollplastische Figur. Friedrich Ludwig Jahns.
sich auf einen Baumstumpf stutzend; massives Kristallglas, stemelgepresst und nachveredelt: Pressnahte verschliffen, Oberflache sauremattiert und teils anpoliert.'

It goes on further but I've just lost all I typed grrrr.

'Ref - Lit: Baumgartner 1981, Abb.368 - Se'

So that might be worth following up?

We discussed Riedel's "Turnvater Jahn" in 2006:

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Ivo looking at the front on photo of this model page 9 of the link, your model could also be Kaiserin Elisabeth von Österreich
(or page 7 I'm not sure about the page numbering on this link, I'm sorry)
