The height as well as shape matches with a Riihimäki Export vase from late 70's but that means there is no official attribution to any particular designer.
There are copies made currently in China so one should look carefully at the base for age marks.

PS. I for one would rather only comment on topics with less +++ and other inappropriate marks on the header....

You will find lots of similar stuff attributed to Tamara Aladin but PX's post is very accurate.  Nice color by the way.
