Could this be by Pukeberg?

ooh excellent suggestion - thanks   I'll have a search now.
There are some design similarities with this labelled candle holder on Wayne's site, and the thickness of the glass etc looks similar http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_85&products_id=4401&zenid=2fb987cfa868fa877aee4837aac388b0

Looks to be hand-pressed.
My first thought was Muurla.
Looking closely I notice the lines on the underside of the rim which remind me of Viking Epic (USA) mushrooms.
So 2 more possibilities to muddy your waters, M.

Would this be described as cast rather than pressed?

Pete thank you for that.  I've not managed to id it but I have found some Blenko pieces following your Viking lead, that have some similarities.  I will explore further but they aren't quite the same.
John, yes I do think it is cast rather than pressed.

My initial thought was Pukeberg or Muurla, and then I checked my ref pics file and I have one filed under Pukeberg, but it's not labelled, so I'm not 100% certain... may be worth an email to them to ask...

High quality crystal but undocumented design in the style of Iittala - I think Nybro and Pukeberg may be candidates.

Thank you all
some leads to go on.  I'll post back if I find a definite.

Thank you Anne for finding this thread:)

I'm just adding the reference I put in the other post

This is a labelled Pukeberg pair the same as mine

I have seen a lovely set of candle holders in red as well. 
They are incredibly heavy and sturdy.
