Nope - not me!

I've tried looking up this Kosta 'Volcano' series, but I can't find any other references except for various eBay auctions - none of which provide any evidece. So I'm a touch sceptical.

Not mine either.
Will keep searching for a definate. Although being that a stickered Galway one has been mentioned would imagine that's the answer

Here's a genuine Kuusi pattern candle holder that might help to see if the patterning is the same as yours.  I know the shape is different, but I thought the surface pattern might help.

Yep, Galway had these before boxed and have seen others with labels on, not that collectable at the moment.
Shame though as they are nice pieces.

This has just been listed on ebay...a paperweight that has remarkable similarities.....is it worth following up?

Well, as you know, I never give up the search!!
Here is a pair of candleholders like yours Pinkspoons   with labels.
They are Galway Crystal, not Scandinavian after all!
