Krosno perhaps; it's the right orangey amber. I wonder if it's a water-with-your-whisky jug, as it has an ice lip and these individual jugs tend to be small.

Believing what the auctions say is a bit like like believing what's said on ebay: all attributions should be taken with a pinch of salt. The ice lip is not a Krosno feature particularly, and Krosno is only a possibility for your jug.
