Topic: Mdina Bottle Vase?

[tsl45]

Would this glass bottle vase possibly be Mdina?  It measures 345mm in height the rim is 45mm in diameter and it is 110mm at its widest point.  Many thanks for any assistance in pointing me in the right direction.

Certainly Mdina and looks like a rather nice Harris period tricorn bottle.

Gregg is spot on, a Tricorn bottle dating from 1969 to around 71, I suspect the lack of drawn out neck means earlier in that date range rather than later.

A bit of glass from the beginnings of British Studio Glass, in Malta...

These two have short necks: https://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/EarlyMdinaGlass#5611797653915611202

Greg, John your help is greatly appreciated.  I thought it was Mdina but was unable to find it amongst the numerous pictures that I viewed on the web, different story adding tricorn to the search.

Yup, absolutely superb early Michael Harris tricorn bottle with an unusual big thick cup shaped rim. These big rims, like the buttons are only found on the very early, pre-Boffo period pieces - until much later when they were revived for use on the (revived) tricorn-shape, short perfume bottles.
A real treasure! Well done indeed. (I don't have one, not with this rim.  )

Very nice, I do have one with this rim

Is that an Isle of Wight Studio Aurene bottle on the left? It looks so short...

It certainly is, not sure that it is that small at 12 6/8 inches in height, but I don't have any others to compare it to.

Maybe the oversized fish vase is skewing things?
