http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-665 (http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-665) Flat base, cased in clear glass, height 9¾ inches tall. The dark line through the clear base is a reflection from the olive green glass, the base is totally clear. (Click the image to bring up a larger version.)
Is this vase Scandinavian? Any suggestions as to maker please?

Anne,
I think your vase is by Riihimaen Lasi, but I don't have any proof.

It certainly looks the part, doesn't it.
TMaritta, are you from Finland? This group gets better and better!

I agree with TMaritta, that it's probably Riihimaen. I think it's one of those designs you might never find the designer for - sadly there's quite a few Scandinavian pieces like that. :(

Anne,
I agree with Tmaritta, Cathy and Max, it certainly has the look of Riihimaen.
There is (I think) the same olive green one here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RETRO-SCANDINAVIAN-GLASS-TRIO-RIIHIMAKI_W0QQitemZ7358884517QQcategoryZ995QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), pictured with another Riihimaen vase of the same colour; this second vase is, I think, definitely Riihimaen - it normally has the 'Polar Bear' stamp. The colours look identical.

Thank you all, I was thinking it may be Rihimaki but wasn't sure. It was the colour that caught my eye - I don't have anything else in that colour green. Much appreciate your help. :)
BTW The one robbo posted the link for is the same as mine.
