Orange Thing ?!
« on: September 04, 2021, 10:50:48 AM »
Hi , the pot itself is about 8cm high and it has a few spots of wear it sits on with a fire polished broken pontil.The interesting thing about it is the arm added with a hole in the top ….all I can think of is it’s a single stem vase of some kind ?? I bet a few of these have broken ! Thanks for looking .

I cannot find any Mtarfa I have with a base like that, but that is about the only company I can think of that might have made this. They did add some strange bits to things and had a series of weird gate and style shaped things. The orangey red colour is one I kind of associate with Maltese glass.
Other than that, it could be a student piece?

I strongly suspect that is the correct idea.  ;)
I have seen hyacinth vases with added on wire attachments that serve the same purpose which would be a lot older than this. :)

Perhaps to show a really special flower such as an orchid seen here https://www.malbidecor.com/shop/italian-glassware/vases/massimo-lunardon-glass-vase-orchid/
Great way to display your blooms at a flower show/competition.
