Thanks John.  I usually come across them when I am hunting for something, then have a little trawl to update what I can at that time...........but there are quite literally thousands in that data base, and in the main the info is good, very small percentage is innaccurate for one reason or another.

Without knowing much like anything of Swedish glass companies I would, however, suspect that saying "Skrufs" and "Skruf" is like saying "Riihimäen" or "Riihimäki". i.e. both "correct" then, in the same way, at least in spoken language.

The company called Skrufs Glasbruk (Skrufs glassworks) is situated in a village called "Skruv". Their logo says "Skruf".
Gullaskrufs Glasbruk was situated in "Gullaskruv"
(Riihimäen Lasi was in Riihimäki)

Quote from wikipedia

--- Quote ---the genitive [aka possessive] is formed by adding -s to the end of a word. This -s genitive functions more like a clitic  than a proper case and is nearly identical to the possessive suffix used in English. Note, however, that in Swedish this genitive s is appended directly to the word and must not be preceded by an apostrophe.

Paul S.:
that's easy for you to say Christine :).....but what does it mean :)

Any new thoughts on this vase? - Skruf, Walther, Oberglas,...?

I guess Oberglas is still a contender, but to date I have not seen any of their pressed glass in this dark blue, and neither this vase in any other colour...
