In Das Bohmische Glas Band II page 210 there is a night flask and beaker in the same gilded design as Peter's glass
'Vermutlich Morchenstern, um 1840'
which I believe translates as 'Suspected Morchenstern c.1840'
the flask and beaker are faceted but the beaker does not have the inset rim like OP's glass, the facets run to the top and it's finished as far as I can see, as Peter's glass is.
Info here including a small paragraph on the glass industry in SMRŽOVKA:

After 1848 next boom of industry came here. It was mainly traditional glass industry, which had the biggest share in the development of Smržovka. Extensive forests provided wood that was needed in large quantities for the glass works as a fuel and as raw material for the potash production.
The production was focused mainly on glass pearls and beads, and the grinding of glass (first report about glass grindery dates to 1753). The glass works produced hyalite glass, painted glass, glass jewellery, chandeliers. There was even a factory where different types of accessories were compiled. Around 1848 total number of 14 glass crimpers, 40 blowers, 1579 glass cutters were in this area, also gilders and other specialists were employed there. 1923 people worked in chandelier workshop. Fifty-six traders dealt with a remote trade.'
Das Bohmische Glas Band II page 210 also references page 138 in Felice Mehlman's The Illustrated Guide to Glass where there is a ruby stoppered jug, with facet cuts and what appears to be the same gilded pattern (very worn). Estimated at c.1840-1850
And another piece in Pazaurek/Phillippovich.
The caption goes on to say
