I'm fairly certain this vase is by Alsterfors - It's mould-blown and 'waisted' would seem to be an appropriate description....

This looks very similar to a dark amethyst vase I had with a round 'made in Sweden' sticker on the side.

I have also seen a very similar vase but smooth rather than textured and probably a little taller, with an Alsterfors sticker. Age, possibly 60s/70s.
