Oops, mea culpa.  ;D

Krosno SA isn't the only glassmaker in the Krosno area, even though it's the largest. This article tells more about glassmaking in the area: http://www.chamberofcommerce.pl/glass/ and this one lists some of the other glassmakers: http://www.krosno.pl/en/economy/krosno-firmscompanies/major-industries/
