What about a ballaclava to go with the coat David? LOL
Yes, I just unearthed my Millers, that one in the book is cylindrical and mine is square (much nicer I think), but same era I think. I would agree is looks very Mdina-like, but then I believe there is a historical connection..remember reading about it. Didn't Michael Harris, leave Mdina and set up I o W glass works? I MUST widen my horizons!!! Emmi

That's right. He left Mdina in 1972 when the political situation worsened. I think the Prime Minister at the time was Dom Mintoff, if memory serves me correct.
He then started IoW but died in 1994, but his wife and sons, Jonathan & Timothy, carried on and the studio still produces stunning art glass today.

One of the sons left to form another studio (arghh, Sue, where are you...) :lol:

thanks for the site link David...I think I have a perfume decanter from the Strapped Seawood range, so very happy with that. Yes...where is Sue???

Johnathan Harris left to set up his own studio in Ironbridge. I went there in 2004 to see it. I have three pieces of his beautiful unique work and one piece of his studio range. I met him there and he signed the piece I bought right in front of me. Here is his website:
