This not tittot or luili, they are moulded, much more likely to be Chinese or Murano I think.

Yes, Wolfie, I've had both and I know it isn't either, though it feels lovely 

[Patrick]

much more likely to be Chinese

YES designed by a China-man but made in Malta at the MDG factory.

It was from the early produced work and is remembered by an ex worker.

So lucky to find it on Ebay when I was searching 'Birds'

Cheers,

Patrick

And I'm so happy he went to a great home.
Many thanks, Patrick

Mystery solved and as you say, Della,  it went to a good home.
Now we just have to look out for some others!!

[Patrick]

I think finding another might be hard........

Another worker who arrived at MDG later does not remember them, so I think this was probably made by one of the teachers because it is so well made.

 The bird is a delight.

I think finding another might be hard........

How wrong I was.......... My collecting friend in Malta found this beauty today!

[Della]

I love the bird in blue!
Is he on his way to you too, Patrick?

[Patrick]

Sadly noooooooooo,

He is an avid collector of Maltese glass and is always finding something new. He has adverts all over Malta

His ambition is to one-day open a museum of Maltese glass.

And hopefully, the next one is mine.... if there ever is another one. I too am an avid collector of MDG animals and birds.
