Ummm, no? It was the big globe at the front you gave me!
It was a very long time ago, possibly before we discovered it was MDG rather than Mdina, and you knew it was the style (ie what we now know to be Boffo) of Mdina that I was trying to concentrate on.

Would you like it back now we know more about it? You weren't collecting Maltese glass at the time, but I know you are now, and I have my first globe. I don't need two, and you did do the finding of it, the thinking of me and the subsequent donation!  :ghug:

Nah. Still think you're confuddled. I think.  :ghug:

Oddly I found the double of this today and with matching stopper.

I also found a tall one last week in the same pattern, I will add a picture later.

Oh and the tall one has a label :)

The splodging on the tall vase is a lot thicker but it is splodging not one consistent colour as it looks in the photo.

This particular cloudy splodging is another typical Boffo feature. These tall stoppered bottles are fabby - I've got an amber one, and yellow one and a blue one - all cloudy splodgy.
I'e also got this shape, slightly bigger, in Earthtones-as-executed-by-Boffo, and, one of my prize possessions, a tall green one!

Sorry the pic is a bit dodgy - this is the blue one and the yellow one, beside a massive big blue one (massive being tall AND wide)

Lovely blue in those. Very nice.

MDG has definitely grown on me and it seems to gravitate towards me as well, which is an added bonus!

The yellow seems to be the cloudy colour least often found - that's the only bit I know of.
I've got a massive green one too, lucky, lucky me!
