Topic: Help please on a new puchase......... Lollipop vase.

[WhatHo!]

Thanks Sue, have you seen one like this before?

[chopin-liszt]

No.
The stripey pattern looks a little like the stripey pattern used on the Onion vases, it's shaped as an uncut Mdina cut-ice Lollipop, so they're still using MH designs and variations on them.
Uncut "Cut-ice Lollipops" are not unusual. 

  Although you posted an image of a bud vase by Jim Munnelly, made after he left Mdina.
I did wonder if that shape might have been his (Jim's) own design, rather than one of MH's?
It's the round-bottomed, long-necked shape with flared rim, used a great deal over a long period of time at Mdina.

It had not occurred to me before but now you come to mention it, it does look more MDG than Mdina.

Hi,
 In a moment of weakness I bought it via a dealer that was standing at the same fair........ I have tried to justify buying because it will display well with the other I have.   
 Note to self.............. I collect Whitefriars not MDG ! 

Regards,

          Patrick.

Hi,
 Well it has been very quiet on here so I thought I would add an image of the two MDG lollipop vases......  The thinner topped one that Wolfie found me has a melted in neck, maybe this has sealed the blowers breath in ...............

Regards,
                Patrick.

I really like the one on the left

Me too, it looks much better in Patrick's well lit photo than it did in the flesh - on the sellers stand in a dark old shed.
