Label reads: "ASTRA KAREL CZECHOSLOVAKIA HAND MADE EMBOSSED GOLD".

That's definitely not the same as the label on mine Cathy. The box my glasses came in (which I still cannot find anywhere!) had the same logo as on David's orange plate above. It was on a black box which had the logo and gold stars as a random pattern across it.  It appears there are at least two makers of Astra drinksware!  Just to confuse things!

[Cathy B]

Possibly an even Australian importer?

[Anne]

Could well be - and much later as well by the label style?

Another Astra glasses set, boxed, with the label visible.  This is the same label as on my original box. Nothing else on the box to indicate origin, just that label.
