I have a selection of similar items that I picked up in an antique shop in Crystal Palace a few years ago. One is a fabulous aubergine! It has a paper sticker that says: EXBOR Czech Republic (see photo). Another one with a sticker is also shown below - the writing on the sticker reads: Egermann Czech Republic.
