Hi shoplepage,

Please do not post the same details in different forums as this makes things confused especially when replies are given in more than one place. I have deleted your entry in the Scandinvian forum but have updated the in this thread to include the possible Scandi origin.

Looks like a bird bath bottom to me - one of the features of pressed glass which makes it highly unlikely to be scandinavian. If the stand ring is polished - this is where the mould closed. Now wait for someone specialised in pressed glass to bring you a positive id.....
