Perhaps you could tell us why you think this bottle is Swedish? You may have some specific information about its ownership or origin?
Most collectors would call this European or Continental. The bottle was blown in the German half-post method, but that does not mean it is necessarily German in origin.
One can also say that the square shape suggests it was a "case bottle" meaning that it was meant be part of a set which was fitted in a wooden box.
The decoration is copper wheel engraving - the bottle was held against a rotating copper disk to create the designs. The presence of someone's initials and date is unusual - this suggests it may have been a presentation piece for a wedding or other special occasion.
