Sklo means glass in Czech, so yes it's sklo, what you really are asking is, is it made by one of the Sklo Union factories.

Thanks for the language lesson - excuse for me for using the word Sklo to discribe a Czech piece.

There was no offence meant. It's just that the use of 'sklo' to mean Sklo Union grates on our Czech and Czech-speaking contributors.  :)
