Bored on NYE, so thought I'd bump a couple of very old posts. It's been over 8 years since I first bought this. I knew nothing at the time I bought it.
In all that time, having ruled out all usual subjects for optic glass, I've only seen two things that it come close to a match.
1) Optic ribbed bucket, close in colour but the polished pontil is very different - much smaller and too different in my opinion to be the same company

It has a Made in Sweden label on it that appears to be paper. I can't recall seeing this type before, and stylistically it looks to be earlier than the common mid-century ones I've found.

I've attached some current pictures for the heck of it.
