Reminds me of "Fanfare" by Kjell Engman for Kosta Boda, but for the pontil mark and the base. A copy, perhaps?

hi again i have looked on the web and you are perfectly right.it looks like they fetch a good price,but all the ones i have seen are for sale in the usa.
are they available in the uk ?and are they still being made? and when were they made from?
sorry for bombarding you with questions.
i will probably keep this one for my collection.
