Hi,
Anyone's guess really, but my instinct says Langham but it could be Mdina or ------.

Hi,
No, not always, some would only have a sticker and this would also happen with Langham. I have 3 unsigned pieces of Mdina now. One is a carafe shaped vase with a raised Maltese Cross on the front. I am edging towards Langham for yours though. Take a look at this completed Ebay auction and see what you think - 110429384513.

Could be Mtarfa.
I rather like glass mushrooms, I just plant them randomly among my displays, in the spaces.
Loads of Mdina and Mtarfa isn't marked.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.

what do you do with a glass mushroom?

I would guess: mending socks like granny did?  ;D

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
