It could be Bengt Orup for Johansfors Glass. Someone else could probably confirm who is more familiar with Swedish Glass.

Thanks to everyone, another one for the display unit.
Had a look through the various links re Bengt Orup and found he made some beautiful pieces during his career.
Does anyone know when this was made ?
Many thanks to everyone
