Topic: Is this Mdina?

If it was Mdina I would expect (like in the link you provided) the white to be mottled, i.e white blobs in the clear glass. In your vase it looks more like a general white background with the odd swirl.

Avondale? it doesn't say Chinese, although I can't tell if the base is matte or shiny or how the rim is finished.

The base I would say has a slight matt finish but only very slightly.

I would tend quite strongly towards Mtarfa.
Mtarfa was set up by Paul Said in 1981, and developed designs from those he was doing at Mdina - this fits in with this sort of thing being produced at Mdina, at this time, but also would explain the differences - the much wider flared rim, the more angular shapes of the coloured bits, the cloudier appearance of the white in the background, and the squater base shape - with the slightly shorter almost double bulbous base rather than simply a rounded one.

Have to say, I haven't paid much attention to this particular style of post-Harris work at Mdina - I'm not at all fond of it. I don't like white in glass and I don't like splodgy too much, unless it's bright and garish.
