Title: Finnish? maybe? ID = Riihimaki

17.5 cms tall - A local charity shop were selling off a load of glass for 10p an item. I got a nice pair of Dartington Candlesticks and some Daisy bowls - but I picked this one up on a hunch that it was vaguely similar in design to some other Finnish vases I have - was I right? And yes I can see it needs a good clean...

Definitely Riihimaki. I've seen the design attributed to Aimo Okkolin but I don't know how accurate this is.

I agree with Steven. Made in 2 sizes and a design dating to the 1960's, but I don't have a definite designer or production number, but as Steven says, often regarded as an Okkolin design.
