Pair of amethyst/purple controlled bubble bowls.

Any ideas about these would be much appreciated.  I'm guessing they are Scandinavian because they look very similar in shape to Orrefors' 'Fuga bowl'.  There was a larger matching bowl originally, but unfortunately that got literally snatched out of my hands :(  I'm also guessing that they have some age judging by the signs of wear on the base and are not modern-day pieces.

They're only 2" high with a round base and a rather squarish shaped, thick rounded rim.
Many thanks :) ;)

Anne, could they be Kosta? This one is triangular but looks to be a similar thing in clear glass.

Ooh could be Kosta.   They look pretty similar.  Wish I could read the script ::)  I'll see what else I can find using Kosta as a starting point. Thanks Anne. ;)
