is this accurately described Riihimaki/Riihimaen?

I have two of these and they are very light and chip like mad around the rim (this one is chipped as well). I thought Riihimaki was better quality than that.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Definitely not Riihimaki, the description appears pretty much meaningless. Probably, not even Scandinavian.

Riihimaen glass chips too! I have a labeled vase that has big chunk out for the top rim.
