My knowledge is severely limited really, and made more difficult by trying to understand the geography and place names.

There are many period maps online, for example https://polona.pl/item-view/0a7077af-a0ce-46e8-ba8d-b996ba354635?page=0 at polona.pl. With their help, I found the remnants of the Michelsbaude between Karlsthal and Schreiberhau (Szklarska Poręba) back in 2018, starting a historical rollercoaster ride that continues to this day...
There are also at least several accounts from Karlsthal from the late 18th or early 19th by German authors (e.g. Christian Weiss, Johann F. Zollner, or JCF Gutsmuths).

Thanks - I also have lots of books so there are maps in there etc. which help when trying to place people and objects and look at how close the glass factories were to each other etc.
My bigger problem is watching things like video tours of the Biedermeier period (the glass I love and the period I'm most interested in) and older glass in MUZEUM KARKONOSKIE W JELENIEJ GÓRZE by dr. Stefania Żelasko. I think I've managed to track down an English translation of the information though which has been a huge help.

I have all three Glasmuseum Passau-published books by her, and photos of much of the glass from the Muzeum Karkonoskie, can gladly share.

Thank you for posting such a clear photograph of the canes :) That's beautiful! Are paperweights your area of interest?
I'm unlikely to find anything like that here in UK but I've been doing so much reading around them I hope I'd recognise one if I did see one!
Which books do you have please? and which would you recommend as the most comprehensive for the period 1800-1850/60?
