Bubble base shot glasses on triangular base holder Mdina?
« on: May 06, 2010, 05:20:53 PM »
Good evening all
Could anyone kindly help in the id of these lovely shot glasses with bubble base.  They sit on a triangular base with circular holders.  The triangular holder is smooth on top with a slight glacier ice effect underneath with a blue hue when held to light.  What I did wonder and probs sound an idiot but Mdina thoughts were swirling around.  The reason for my thinking is that I do have a modern Mdina twin candle holder tray which has the same glacier underneath and blue hue. 
Any help please?
Thanks
Margi

Not a clue, sorry. If they are, they'd be recent - I don't know much about their recent stuff. But they don't say Mdina to me. Have you searched their current website - shove "Mdinaglass" into google, it'll turn up.

We've had these before I think. Don't think there was an answer though

Not Mdina. Just a similarity in the finishing that you've noticed ;) :)

Margi, could you try the photos again showing the profile better, and then another to show the bubbles in the base?
