OK, zero stars if your only criteria is "was it made in Sweden." I give it five stars for aesthetic beauty, and extreme value for such a large piece. Warning, the large size is quite heavy (and by virtue of its shape, rather top-heavy). You do NOT want this falling over onto say, a granite counter top. Put this somewhere very stable with no chance of getting bumped. I placed mine inside another recent purchase, the discontinued large "Tulipa Purple" vase by Elsi Johansson via Magnor Glassverk that I snagged before they sold out (also sold out in red). They're still available in yellow. PS, I don't think this Glacier Award is a "counterfeit" product, rather I believe that there is legitimate manufacturing of some Orrefors products in China and Turkey, for example.
