Mdina pot - puleguso?

Hello!
There's a picture of a piece in this pattern in the 2004 Miller's guide (top right, p273). It is described there as being early '70's, by Michael Harris. I don't know if the date is right, but none of my bits in this pattern have dates. I don't have a bit in yours' size and shape, Max.....:mrgreen:

I do quite like the pattern, but would agree with Paul that it's not quite pulegoso. The bubbles are too big, and the surface is not all rough. I think this pattern is often referred to as "sand and aqua".

This bubbly yellow is the background in the tortoiseshell pieces, and in other early bits with blue. It is a common feature of Mdina - I don't know why it is so often overlooked that it is bubbly. :?

Max, since Peter got me into Mdina, not easily found here let me tell you, it has become a passion for me. Love this and just adds to my list of what to look for. Terry.

Thanks Sue.  :D  I never thought to look in Millers, I just don't use them anymore...having said that...I've got 2003 and 2005...but not 2004!   I'd rate your opinion over theirs anyway.  :)  

Of course you're right about it not being puleguso. I had the opportunity to handle a couple of bits in that technique at Peter's house this week for the first time, and this Mdina is much different.  As I'd only really read about puleguso, or seen pictures, I got that a bit wrong!  :roll:  :oops:

Terry - if you could find Mdina as easy as you find great Italian pieces - I'd be even MORE jealous!   :wink:
