Topic: Two Mdina vases, further info appreciated :-)

His has shoulders, yours doesn't. Just seems to fall straight away.

Were these always made in various sizes, my earliest examples seem to be smaller than the later ones but this could be just a quirk of my collection?

They're all different shapes and (within limits) different sizes, Nemmie. 
The photo of mine above was taken from a slightly "above" angle, so the pulls look almost like shoulders themselves.
The ones I describe as having shoulders are the bigger, later ones (you're perfectly correct) - like this one, where the shoulders are practically horizontal, under a wide flanged rim. Again, the photo is from a "slightly above" angle.

The positioning of the pulls can make a huge difference to the overall appearance!

Sue has just answered the question but what the hell, here is my two-penneth worth anyway.

Quite a few of the earlier examples are a bit smaller than the later ones, as per usual for Mdina though it is not a hard and fast rule. Through the 1970s the necks and rims tended to get taller and wider too.
