Its a Whitefriars textured "Coffin" vase designed by Geoffrey Baxter, no.9686.
I've got a couple in different colourways.  Afraid I can't think of the colour name of yours at the moment, but someone will know :)

I have just realised you are using the term frosted inaccurately. When we say frosted, we mean glass that has been treated to create a "steamed up window", i.e., matte and non longer see-through, effect rather than an effect that looks like ice (or even bark).

This paperweight shows what I mean: a shiny window surrounded by a frosted area.
