Never did find out who made this, any thoughts on the Scandinavian theory?

I've faint memories of Alsterfors using this - or a very similar - colour.

I have a few pieces in this colour and am inclined to think either Wiesenthalhütte or Boussu.

... now we´re in Germany - Farbglaswerke Zwiesel might be a further option. Some examples here:
