We do not have a list of artists, suppliers and manufacturers for glass making in the Czech Republic and China. I am supplying a list of resources to help you locate them:
The Glass Art Society (GAS) has a variety of useful lists:

CHINA - schools
Shanghai University, Fine Arts College, Shanghai www.glassart-studio.com Degree & Non-Degree
CZECH REPUBLIC - schools

These organizations/publications are in GAS lists:

In an internet search, Peter Novotny's tools and equipment came up:
AJETO -
"A world famous designer and glassblower Petr Novotný and a glass technology expert Libor Fafala. ... Top glassmaking tools under the trademark Petr Novotny."
I should not be difficult to obtain Italian tools for use in the Czech Republic, for example: Carlo Dona:

These tools are made in Japan: Maruko Tools

1) with offices in CZ and China: GLASS SERVICE https://www.gsl.cz/ https://www.gsl.cz/en/company.html
2) And this one in China: GLASSTEM https://www.glasstem.com/

I added a list of general books about glass artists in the Czech Republic. If you wish to obtain copies of library items, please contact your local library. The Rakow Research Library is a member of the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). Your library can contact us through OCLC or email. We send copies of articles and will also loan books if a second copy is available in the library collection.
I hope these resources are useful.
