Sue, thank you for the photographs of your owl and pot... your owl is just as interesting as mine and Chris'.  I like them all... 

Just one little question...  why isn't my Mdina owl signed?  I don't think there is anything wrong with it, i.e. I don't think it's a second.

Not all Mdina is or was signed. It's a time issue, if there's time they are and if there's not they're not. I don't know whether they all get labels though. I just checked 16 pieces of mine and 9 are unsigned and only 2 have labels.

Hi all
just thought i would add that mine has what i think it the original price sticker on the base have added a picture to the Mdina album on my picasa. Label reads price m 3.50c each
My owl is also signed (fine tip swirly writting), and has his label right in the centre of his belly. I believe this paper label was used from 1968 untill the 1990's when it was replaced by the plastic ones

Well I like them too, i was quite pleased when i found this chap, and he sits in the cabinet with some of my nicer pieces of Mdina quite proudly.

Christine, thank you for clarifying... Perhaps I should add 'Mdina' to the bottom of my owl so that future generations know what it is???

Of course, I'm only joking...
