Topic: Show and Tell - Mdina

Thought this new Mdina acquisition deserved a showing.

I presume these were a Harris design..? and would date pre 72..?

Enjoy.

Hi Greg, I'm sure these have been on the board before and Mark Hill discussed them.  I will have a look to see if I can find the thread.
They are rather gorgeous.

Thought that link look familiar  

Thanks both for the link, I think I must have missed that thread previously.

Oh yes, Greg. pre-'72, Harris design. Rather scarce, well done indeed!

[Greg.]

Thanks for the date/ design confirmation Sue.  :thup:

Wasn't a bargain purchase by any means, but a nice addition.

Very nice and very hard to find. According to Mr Hill on page 48 of his Michael Harris book, one of Vincente Boffo first tasks was the trailing for the knopps on the chalices, same technique here. If you don't want to use it as a candlestick it might make an interesting liqueur glass....

How tall is it?

Certainly would make an interesting liqueur vessel. 

Measures 5.5 inches tall.
