SQUARE COLOURED GLASS BOWL. Mdina?

<< < (2/3) > >>

jonchellycain:
I was told recently that when you go over to the Mdina studio, it has lots of this type of thing now (cheaper/lighter for tourists to bring back i spose).
Also large sheet work for companies?? and not so much of the "normal" stuff most collectors are use to, i suppose they have to earn money like everyone else and have to move to wherever pays the bills.
 Although this is second hand information and could be wrong, i havent personally been over well not since i was 8 years old anyway, so maybe somebody could set that straight for me

Found this, signed like the dish in OP.  Have never seen paperweights like this by Mdina.  It's a whopper at 9" (23cm) tall.  Still no closer to knowing if the dish is genuine or not and this one doesn't help as it's new to me.

They do make fused glass, of this more simple style as well as the incredibly complex "reproductions" of paintings.
Try having a peek at their own website.

Artius Glass is a shop, not an information site, Otis

Thanks for the Mdina link Sue - in all my trawling (and you know I do a LOT) I've not come across it, bizarre!

Will spend a lovely afternoon 'educating' myself.

Thanks to you all that have given me positive leads.  I have looked at the suggested sites especially the Mdina site with great interest.  The paperweight signature viewed does have similarities to this signature.  I must say regardless of the originator it is a wonderful piece.  Smooth on the inside and textured on the back.  Any further info. you can obtain, please can you let me know.   Many thanks for you help.
