Smalandshyttan mid-century sommerso vase

We listed and sold this as a Swedish vase by an unknown maker.  Subsequent to this, we were told by someone who saw the video of the vase on Youtube that; "I have this exact vase in a different colour way that I purchased in Chichester West Sussex and it has a sticker on it "Smalandshyttan Sweden""  We've passed the information on to our customer.

This is a stylish vase, somewhat similar to a design of Nils Landberg for Orrefors (see http://www.modernistglass.com/glasspieces/view/2538) but with a concave ground base (see pic) which we haven't seen on the Landberg pieces. The base has the faint remains of a sticker.

Whoever designed this one, it's a lovely piece at a reasonable price.

Height: 26 cm  (10.25 inches)
Width: 11.5 cm
Weight: 1445 g
Condition: light wear to the base and from a handful of less than 0.5mm fleabites to the rim of the base, a brownish 3mm scufflike mark to one of the sides (could this be why it hasn't been signed?), a few small scuffs and scratches (longest 2mm), marks after water close to the top (see pictures)
