not wfs, can't help more than that - though perhaps far eastern - sorry, it really doesn't look like top quality!

Hi Steve
I've got one of these (I think it's the same anyway) and on my travels around the internet trying to identify bits of glass I've bought, I saw one (possibly) listed as Kosta Boda. I can't verify this but it may be a lead for you to look into further.
Cheers
Helen
