Not trying to be sexist but I think it highly unlikely that a woman would 
be considered a master craftsman in this time period.  A married woman 
would be "Pani" and a single woman would be "Panna".  So it is probably Mr. 
Felix Wizner.

Szklaney = glass (adjective form;  i.e. glassy)

I cannot find Bozynskiey in my reference resources but I am wondering if 
this isn't a phrase describing the profession rather than a place name.  If 
you can send a scan of the record to me, I will see if there is a better 
interpretation of the handwriting.
