Topic: Cambridge Glass Fair 2012.~Brilliant weather, brilliant glass, brilliant day!

I NEVER have enough time at fairs!
Not enough time to see all the glass I want to, not enough time to catch up with all those I want to catch up with, not enough time to spend with new folk I meet and.... just never, ever enough time.  :cry:

My interest is piqued by a Malta Decorative Glass attenuated bottle with label. It's amber, and I want a green one, but I'm still curious about it. There's a labelled stoppered bottle too, but I have one of those (minus label, but that doesn't worry me)
It's really good to see MDG out on stand, proudly being what it is - not being some sort of almost-maybe-Mdina.

I should have known!
Trust Peter. He's WAY ahead of things, he is.
(he used to tease me for collecting Mdina, he did, then I discovered he'd been collecting it too  )

I had a look at the MDG pieces in the photo, Peter Elliot mentioned he thought he would give them a try to see how they went down, apparently there's a shortage of early Mdina  

I did contemplate purchasing the MDG bottle, although I ended up being swayed by other bits and pieces.

The stoppered bottle or the attenuated one, Greg?
I've been collecting MDG for a good wee whiley now, originally thinking it was Mdina, although I had managed to "attribute" the MDG pieces as belonging together. I didn't think they were by MH, but I did think they all were made by the same, highly experienced person whose "hand" I came to recognise.

The green stuff is the best!


There's a shortage of early Mdina?  :thud:  That's 'cos John's hoovered it.  :smg:

[Greg.]

The attenuated one Sue. Certainly, nice to see a few pieces of MDG around.

I'll let you know if I see any green MDG attenuated bottles on my travels.

[chopin-liszt]

I have seen one - it's on the Worthpoint site.
I don't have any attenuated bottles in MDG and I do like them.
We are getting a bit off-topic here, though.  :pb:
I will consider starting a new thread.

Back to topic.  Thank you SO much Rosie for the great photos, so nice to see them and almost as good as being there.

Sounds like you had a great time, and hopefully I will catch up with you and everyone else next time.

quote from jp......."i bought her a coffee as well as the glass of water , she also forgot that .hhhhm . senior moments .jp"........yeh, but it looks like you got a lunch out of it .......I've been promised an 'ice cream' for ages  -  haven't had it yet though

Do i detect a hint of jealousy Paul ? well i put it down to my natural charm , if i were not so modest i would be perfect . 

[rosieposie]

Don't fight over me boys....back to topic please!  Paul, you got cream, not ice cream!!

I have a few more pics that didn't load as they were too big,  I'll see if I can sort them out and add them here, and thanks for all the lovely comments everyone,
