Early Mdina fish vase? opinions please

(1/3) > >>

glassobsessed:
Bought this a few days ago (fleabay) and it has just arrived, for some reason I am having a mild 'crisis of confidence' and so I thought I would seek some reassurance here (maybe a little ridicule if I am wrong!).  ::)
I bid more than I could afford but having read http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,28191.0.html I thought I would rather "go hungry for a couple of weeks" than miss out on a chance of buying this vase.

So I think/hope it may be an early cobalt blue Mdina fish vase, anyone with a copy of Mark Hill's Michael Harris Mdina Glass & Isle of wight Studio Glass can check out page 31. Also on page 22 where the first cullet used in making glass at Mdina is mentioned.

Thanks, John.

Oops sizes, 8 inches wide by 7 tall, 20 by 18 cm.

I don't think you need worry. The underbidder and another expert I know are convinced it is  ;)

 >:D

Yup. We're not speaking to you. :P

Thank you Christine that does help, not sure where my wobbles stem from, perhaps it is a result of not much work for me in the last week or two and my resulting dodgy finances. I can't complain though as I have had a very peaceful and relaxed fortnight catching up on my  :sleep:.

John

I would be lost without you Sue!

chopin-liszt:
I wasn't the underbidder and I'm not an ex-spurt :cry:, but my friend and I have been all keyed up about this piece.

We have been speaking about you, but it's not been fit for polite company.

I'm curious though, about what looked like the remnants of a sticky plastic label on the fleabay pics - not on yours. They would have been a dirty grey-brown if they'd been the remnants of a paper label. I simply assumed they had been the remains of a price sticker somebody else put on at some time.
