Ah-ha Keith - been meaning to catch up with you re. the big, big amber cased bottle you have at the back left of the Maltese stuff - it's NOT Mdina. It's Malta Decorative Glass - the very short-lived company set up shortly after Michal Harris left Malta, by the Maltese government, with Chinese financial backing. The staff consisted of Vicente Boffo and a load of brand-new apprentices. There is a distinct possibility, given it is such a large piece, that Boffo may have made it - probably working with one of the apprentices. :sm:
One of my themes in my displays is to put glass mushrooms in the gaps between bits - gives it all a bit of an organic feel......
