Sorry about my Czenglish, it has been manufactured there :-)

Well, this type of glass had been invented in beginning of 50ties in glassmaker's school glasswork in Chribska (part of Borske sklo, later Crystalex)by Josef Hospodka and later produced for many years in many modifications "designed" by several designers. After privatisation of Crystalex in 1991-2 continued production of free hand shaped glass in Egermann s.r.o in Novy Bor and Rubin glass s.r.o. (s.r.o. = Ltd) in Chribska.

I attached the photograph of school glasswork in Chribska with participant of 1st school year in 1947.
