I vote yes, and I reckon it will glow nicely under UV light.  ;)

I don't think I'm enough of a Czechspert yet, but my hunch would be Murano before Czech, as the latter usually looks less 'curly'.

I was thinking more of the US than Canada, some company like Tiffin, for example.  The piece seems a little less flowing than Murano, although it certainly is within the possibilities of Murano.
