hi there
its certainly not a colourway ive come across whilst collecting Mdina, so i dont think it is either. could you pop a picture of the base on. First thought for me was Caithness as ive seen similar "splatter" pattern from them.

The dealer I brought it from suggested it came from Mdina or one of their associated factories. He is quite knowledgeable but I think more so on traditional items.

Anyway thanks for the input. Here is the underneath:

I think its possibly 1990s 2000s Mdina, not earlier though. Poss Mtarfa.

It doesn't say Mdina to me at all.  The white isn't splodgy in the same way as is usual for 80's+ Mdina and it has black in it.  Not Gozo, possibly Mtarfa, but again never seen one like it attributed to them either, nor Phoenician Glass.  So basically unlikely to be Maltese, maybe Chinese, but I don't know enough about their turn out to say for certain.  Not much help am I? Sorry!  :-\

There is no black in it - looking on eBay it is very similar to this:
