This would most likely be similar to your label:


G Hardy Co. They imported glass from Sweden and Italy in the 50's & 60's.  (This information was kindly given to me by David Fletcher.)  Italian glass had "Venetian Art Glass" instead of Swedish art glass.  I don't know the factories though sorry!

The "Hardy" label shown is now known to be Hans Geismar, not George Hardy.
