Glass Discussion & Research. NO IDENTIFICATION REQUESTS here please. > Malta Glass

White Splatter - ID = Mdina

(1/3) > >>

Tinker-Taylor:
The glass is really quite thick, and the vase is quite heavy for it's 6½" height.

The pontil is flat and polished.

I was thinking Mdina but would welcome any correction.

TIA
Stu.

Ivo:
i have something very similar with a Mdina signature so you could be on the right track

Lustrousstone:
Very possibly Mdina, but definitely NOT sommerso

keith:
Does this help?Keith.

Tinker-Taylor:
Thanks Keith - that's pretty conclusive - it looks just the same, give or take.

Re: 'sommerso' and my (not fluent) understanding of the language and pattern of the vase, isn't the pattern, strictly speaking, submerged in a similar way to that which was first created by the Venetians? 

What I wouldn't want anyone to think is that I had any delusions about this vase being Venetian; I was only seeking to use the often-used term for submerged colour.
