small Mdina or IOW vase, unusual foot and broken pontil = probably Mdina

(1/4) > >>

Andy:
A pretty little vase, surely it has to be Mdina or IOW, nice little button rim, Mdina colours,
browny purple, but i havent seen a Mdina with a footed base and broken pontil,
so im leaning towards early Isle of Wight  :-\
Any theories anyone :huh: :huh:
Cheers
Andy
ps its just 8 cm tall and about 7cm widest point, foot is 5cm across.

josordoni:
Well the silver chloride and the button rim would have shouted Mdina to me too Andy, but what a great unusual colour if that is the case!

Pip:
I agree, the colours are saying Mdina but it's not a shape I'm familiar with.  I'll have a look through my Mdina & IOW book tomorrow and see if I can find the shape or anything similar.

Andy:
Thanks Lynne and Pip,
Ive got Mark Hills book, and a fair collection of Mdina, but I havent seen this shape before, and
the colour is unusual too, i will happily think of it as an early Harris experimental piece ;D,
although i dont expect i can prove that!!
Maybe Mark will have a theory.
Regards Andy

Lustrousstone:
It could equally just be a piece of studio glass from somewhere else. I'll ask Sue M to have a look, she has a huge collection of Mdina and IOW and a definite feel for the stuff. She's conserving her energy at the mo so not board watching
