Could be; might also be English. Maybe late 19 C/early 20th C

Hmmm,

Why Czech??

I would have been thinking English first ;)

Up until November I would have agreed with you Keith, but I found an obscure company that apparently made this style of glass, which is why I said 'English'. Same period, but not Stourbridge.

I added it to the talk I did on Arts & Crafts Glass for the Glass Association AGM, and got some feedback, but have not had time to follow it up, so will not disclose here until I have found out more and am able to say conclusively that this green trailing over clear is made by them as opposed to being wholesalers. Certainly the wording of a period article would suggest the former.

NOTE: There is no point in publishing something that could end up being misleading, and might give rise to mis-attribution.
