This type of glass is made commonly both in Bohemia and Italy. I don't know which yours is. It strikes me more as Italian, but other people could have different ideas about it.

I like them too! :) BTW I use Goddard's liquid silver polish (comes in a blue plastic bottle) and a soft cloth to clean mine. ;)
