What is the base like? Moulded, ground pontil mark...?

Re: Who knows Scandanavian?
An alternative to Scandinavian, is glass designed by Domhnall ÓBroin at Caithness. It's one of his colours - peat (Loch, Heather, Peat) - and it has the ground down rim that's typical of Caithness. They tended to be unmarked.

If they never used if for flowers then it'll look pretty new.

I think I have seen one of these too, no idea who made them though.
How tall is it?

Re: Who knows Scandanavian?
Thick glass and a cut rim would tend to indicate fairly new glass from Poland rather than vintage Scandinavian.

The one I saw was around 20-25cm tall and very heavy. At the time I thought it may have come from one of the smaller Scandinavian works, Reijmyr sprang to mind but that was probably just my mind flailing around...

Re: Who knows Scandanavian?
I've been looking at Scandinavian glass by Aimo Okkolin for Riihimaki and it looks very similar except for the rim. I'm wondering if it's a cut down piece.

Came across something vaguely similar, listed as
"Gablonz"vase, c1970s by Zwiesel
It might be by Schott Zwiesel, Germany
