    Picked this up and found this mark is Swedish...judging by everything I see I want to verify this is a sterling mark?

    The national standard was lower than sterling - 0.835

    That’s an import mark, so made elsewhere.

    Which means it could be higher than 835.

    Is there a way to find out quality of this silver?

    Swedish minimum standard is .830, and the import mark guarantees at least that fineness. From the look of the vase, would guess it's Norwegian and probably is .830 silver (might check again around both base and rim for other marks, perhaps lightly struck) - personally, doubt it's sterling, but if it's important, XRF testing would tell you, or acid testing, if done correctly...
