Topic: ID please Matt finish vase like 1920s/30s pottery, Ault and Linthorpe

Good Morning

Another donation to the hospice on the IOW.
This is a heavy piece, seems to be cased in clear glass that has a matt finish. The colours a very much like the pottery of the early 20 century. The base is ground flat. Height 150 cms. The pictures are a very good representation of the colours.

Very modern Mdina I think

Mtarfa used those colours, another example here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,40235.0.html

Can't remember another frosted bit of Mtarfa though.

Absolutely Mtarfa :thup:  - I've not seen a frosted one before either.

Thank you all very much. Have had a look at Mtarfa on Ebay and does not seem to be selling. Do you think there is a market out there for this vase? Otherwise will just send it out to one of our shops.
Thanks again

Just put it to the shops - it's a decorative little thing.
I really like this decor in Mtarfa and have a couple of examples. 
I'm a lot less keen on it frosted, but that's just me.
