WoW     What an amazing find , I had missed your thread completely ! Thanks for including it here as well you must be over the moon !

Does the clear glass have a greenish tinge to it or is it totally clear if you don't mind me asking  ?

[chriscooper]

It is indeed green thought you may like it 
I am over the moon Mike but I don't collect anything so it will be looking for a new home rather shortly your friend Mr Hogan is 'gaggin' for it  apparently

[Baked_Beans]

It looks like the same green as this Goby fish .............

Do you think it is Mdina or MDG ?

It will complement Patrick's other fish so well ....Rock-on you guys !!  .....

[chriscooper]

I initially thought MDG but the general consensus veering towards Mdina

[Baked_Beans]

Thanks Chris ,

Is this washed-out green a known Mdina colour ? Ta Mike

[Lustrousstone]

Your fish has a clear outer casing, which implies the inner colour is applied. This fish has a bluish outer often seen on Mdina vases, i.e., clear glass made with poor quality sand and not decolorised. You can see it on this bottle

You are correct  of course Christine thought it was unusual because the fins are clear all the green is the core I can that holding it up to the outside window.

Hi guys, have you seen these MDG paperweights before?

[Baked_Beans]

Thanks Wolfie , I had no idea they made paperweights ! That adds a whole new avenue of MDG hunting
