Thank you!

And the latest information on this subject says that these have been made by Viking as well, and the Viking ones have a smoothed rim, while the Ingridglass ones have a straight bevelled edge. Sorry, moderator!

[Anne]

So this one is Viking, as in should be in the USA, instead?

[Ivo]

I have my doubts as I've only had it from hearsay - so why not leave it up there for now, hoping one of the US members can confirm.

I'll move it back to Glass then so they'll pick up on it rather than leave it in Resolved where it might get overlooked. Thanks Ivo.

Hello.  Being that I live in the US, I'm pretty familiar with Viking glass as it is pretty commonly found at thrift shops over here.  I'm 98.5% sure that it's not Viking glass.  Viking glass is very condense, thick glass and almost crystal like in it's quality.  I did forget to mention that this piece did have a partial foil tag still attached on the base.  I cleaned it and it washed away. But, although I could not make out any letters, the colors on the tag were gold and pink.  Maybe that will help someone identify this one better. Thanks for all the comments!

I have also seen these attributed to Skruf, Sweden, although I have no hard evidence myself.
