This is recent replication of so called "forest glass" (Waldglas), made in Czech republic - see
http://gotikglas.wz.cz/sampusky-200069.html

it is written there that this glass is replication of 14th century Swedish glass...
Sorry I am too bussy to look for producer - when you will google for "LESNI SKLO" you will find it.
