Mdina pot - puleguso?
Max:
I found this lovely little pot in an antique shop today. It's about 4.5" high, and heavy. Inscribed Mdina to the base.
It's not a design I've seen from Mdina before, with a acidy yellow puleguso (is it puleguso...there are small bubbles in it?) effect.
I'm rather pleased with it...is it an older piece do you think?
chuggy:
Max I know nothing much about Mdina designs etc, but this is one of the few pieces I've seen that I really think is a cut above the average. Is the item puleguso all the way down with the coloured band overlayed?

Max:
Paul. It's puleguso all over. The turq band is thinly overlaid to the outer surface.
I'll stick another pic up in a moment - I've never heard of Mdina puleguso - maybe I'm wrong. Random small bubbles sound about right?
I've lost some of the detail of the fine yellow tracery on the pot..but you can see the bubbles.
chuggy:
I reckon random bubbles, is the outer surface smooth, as in puleguso you frequently get a rough feel to the surface and burst bubbles. I've got an interesting puleguso jug I'll stick a piccy of up tomorrow and you'll see what I mean.
Istill think it's a really nice piece and one of the more interesting bits of Mdina I've seen though.

Max:
Thanks Paul...I like it too. :D Maybe it's not puleguso...inside and outside is smooth with no broken bubbles. :?
Maybe Sue will manage to take a look later. :D
