Sklo is Czech for glass Keith so yes it is sklo but no it is not Sklo Union production. It is not pressed glass so it can't be a Sklo Union item (no way a plunger could get in and out to form the shape). It looks like it may be a nice bit of mould blown..... possibly Polish glass, maybe Krosno, can you hear me floundering?  ;D

Krosno is nice quality but because it was/is often produced for a "name," it's very underrated and we know little about it.
