There are some, but I don't know about that one

A photo without the camera flash in daylight may help, or it may just confuse the issue.

The colour is as you can see the flash didn't change it,Keith.

Still Mdina but how common,or not,are these hollow weights,any info' please,Keith.

[glassobsessed]

Saw your original post about this Keith but afraid I am clueless about it, have never seen one before. A photo in daylight might help, are there any marks on it from production?

The colour is the same in daylight,no marks just Mdina colours,Keith.

A quick explanation of the moderations here: Keith, the last three posts have been split off from the thread discussing another Mdina object and merged with your original thread. The merged thread was then moved to Glass Paperweights, where it might be seen by fresh eyes.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks Cathy,most grateful,Keith.

I don't know about this weight at all. It does look as if there are silver chloride salts used to create some of the surface colours, but that doesn't mean it's Mdina.

If it is, I would think it's quite a late/recentish piece, not an area I'm familiar with.
The very conical shape is not one I recognise, it's surface decorated - I'm more familiar with when colours were melted in the pot, the base does not look like any I've seen.

Sorry not to be of any use at all.
