SQUARE COLOURED GLASS BOWL. Mdina?

(1/3) > >>

Otis Orlando:
This is a beautiful looking bowl.  It has Mdina etched under the base and what I believed to be the numbers 99 but not sure if this will be clearly shown on the pictures.  The sides measure approx. 8.5cm X 8.5cm.  Thickness 0.7cm.  The base is square and measures 9.5cm X 9.5cm.  The whole bowl is textured and frosty looking.  Even though there is marking on the base can anyone confirm that this particular piece is definitely Mdina and the age would be most appreciated.  Many thanks!

Lustrousstone:
To my knowledge Mdina doesn't make fused glass on blown glass. Can we have a close of of the signature please. Stand away from it and zoom in or use the macro setting on your camera

I was surprised to find out they did as well. I have one here which is signed, dedicated, dated and stickered. The date is 01-10-01.

As Mdina are still making glass, there are bound to be pieces that are unknown to collectors - as we tend to love the early stuff. 

Check out the Artius website as they have a piece that is fused but in the form of a Cezanne - slightly more advanced than the piece in the OP.

As per your request Christine, please find attached pic.  I have used the macro but still useless at taking pictures.   :24:.   Have you got a picture of yours Ivo?

I have looked at your suggested site suzi.  I see what you mean but find the site not very user friendly.

Thanks to you all for your concerns and interest.  I am also not convinced that it is Mdina.  Hopefully someone will prove me wrong.
