Title: is this accurately described Riihimaki/Riihimaen?

I have two of these and they are very light and chip like mad around the rim (this one is chipped as well). I thought Riihimaki was better quality than that.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Definitely not Riihimaki, the description appears pretty much meaningless. Probably, not even Scandinavian.

Thanks Greg, confirms my suspicions.

Riihimaen glass chips too! I have a labeled vase that has big chunk out for the top rim.
