Topic: who made the penguin? Mdina or not?

 Doh!  I should have said earlier m .....I've got 2 bits of Phoenician glass with clear splodgy blue bits in them.... and Phoenician glass did do this blue with silver chloride streaks and blobs design which originated at Mdina.
I've got a lot of stuff I need to photograph!

Splodgy Phoenician. Two shades of blue, two sizes of splodge.

Thanks Sue.  That is confirmation that Phoenician did this blue with chloride streaks although the splotches are much bigger than the penguin which I would described as 'speckles' rather than splotches.  I've attached two more pics for future reference, one a close up of the speckles and the other a close up of the base which shows the decor in a kind of 'core'

I think the cylinder is an unusual, possibly early beast - I've not seen another the same. The smudgey yellow streaks are rather odd.
But there are tiny spatters on the blue stripes on the pin dish.
I've got a short egg-shaped vase with the much more basic Mdina-style blue with the yellow vertical streak and blobs, which I believe to be Phoenician too. Mdina did taller, almost-full-egg ones, Phoenician did eggs-with-their-tops-lopped-off shaped ones. It's not splodged, though. I don't have a pic to hand... will get one!
