It's a 'Tropico' decanter by Göran Wärff for Pukeberg, Sweden, and designed in the early 1960s. It's missing a teak top.

See http://www.zeitgeist-i.com/G-Sw-0008.html for an example with stopper.

Teak and rosewood stoppers and lids were quite common in Danish design for a while. I don't know how much of a novelty they were for the Swedes, though.
