Strange, I could not post a reply there for a moment as it kept directing me towards the homepage.  A similar item appears on the picture at the bottom of this page. Same pontil too. http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,5905.0.htmlApologies for the poor image, I don't have this item in stock no more. :( I'm guessing either Caithness or Maltese for that one but I'm still not sure. :roll: |

:D:D:D
The Mdina vase shown by Tiger is not like the vase in question, although the colours are similar. Whatever it is, I think it's newer than the areas I'm familiar with in Maltese glass. It might be Isle of Wight, as I know they did a swirly ribbony pattern like this pink bit, also on a surface decorated finish - a design I believe to be called "Topaz".
The shape of this vase is more IoWSG than Mdina.
However, I know of a contemporary glassmaker, Steven Foster, who uses a "snakeskin" effect, similar to this. There may be many more.

Thanks both for your replies. I did manage to find a couple of IoWSG of similar shapes and tops but...

Ron Wheeler of Artius Glass told me he thought it was probably an Isle of Wight Amethyst Gemstone trial (and later bought it off me)

Hi Christine Definitely IOWSG Gemstone Amethyst variant, here's my paperweight. Pity Ron got to it before I did  , it's my favourite range. I'm always on the lookout for more! http://picasaweb.google.com/guinearescue/SuzySGlass#5432485254371222674Suzy xxx PS. I know Burgh-le-marsh listed the pot as Mdina, but it looks more Phoenician Glass to me. |

I hope it's worked - attached a couple of pics of my Gemstone Emerald lamp and egg paperweight.

Mine was much less complex, just amethyst and white over clear, but it was beautifully finished.

That unusual looking flat bottle bit is Mdina, Suzy - I think it's taken with a flash, though, because the iridescent bits are sticking out like a (very pretty) sore thumb.
