I am assuming this is a paperweight as I can see no other use for it. Any suggestions please. Thanks, Sue

yes, I have a couple myself and have always seen the described as paperweights as long as they are in a solid form

Thanks for the reply Woodie, is it by Michael Harris? Sue

Well Sue, it certainly looks like Mdina glass to me. That factory was started by Michael Harris in 1968, but whether he made this himself I do not know.

There's a great book on this factory and artist by Mark Hill ( and there's a message advertising it I think somewhere on this board).

Cheers

Keith

These are post Michael Harris. This "tiger" coloration was introduced in the mid 1970s by Eric Dobson. This paperweight shape comes in other colours, including yellow, green and red splodgy
