100% not Whitefriars.  Reminds me of some Krosno pieces I've seen from time to time?

Contemporary Polish for certain, with a very high probability of Krosno.

If you "Google" Krosno, you will find a lot of info.  Many of the interior shops here like M and S, Habitat, BHS TX Max, have a lot of their imported glass, under the LSA label. I imagine yours is just a few years old.  But I have always thought their glass to be of a good quality.
