Mdina Zig Zag vase

(1/4) > >>

glassobsessed:
Thought this deserved a post, they are extremely thin on the ground and until this appeared on ebay the only photo available was the photo of another Zig Zag vase in Mark Hill's book on Michael Harris, page 39 (there is also a newspaper advert that illustrates a bowl in this style on page 20).

A thick heavy vase coloured with silver chloride with trailed 'zig zag' pattern in amethyst and a thick trail running around the vase below the rim. Iridescent trails and spots on the outside. It weighs almost 2kg and stands 15cm tall, flat polished base, unsigned.

A stunning piece of glass presumably dating from 1968 and the very beginnings of glass production at Mdina.

Tough love Sue. :hug:

I got to cuddle it  :wsh: :wsh:

PS John's looks much nicer than the one in the book: less dark

chopin-liszt:
I know, I know - I've seen the one in the book in reality. 2003, it was.
