Info on Mdina Ornament - Axe head?

That is positively, definitely, absolutely, Joseph Said's signature.
Send the picture to Mdina - it will be confirmed, (if you get a reply).
The exact height and width of the vase will also affect price, so measurements (in units other than jif lemons :lol: ) would be helpful.

Wow thank you for that Sue ... I never thought I would get that sig identified and wouldn't have said it said Said in a million years :D ... I'm still laughing about the lemon measurement comment :lol: ... in fact it's 26cm wide x 19cm high and depth varies but 6cm at the thickest part.... it's a very heavy piece!
Thank you so much for all your help!! - Julie

That is a very substantial size. They do come bigger, but not often. It's not as tall as some, but it's wider than others, if that makes any sense! The brown ones don't turn up as often as the blue ones. Amethyst ones are even more rare. (There is an amethyst Said signed one on at the moment, huge!)
I suppose what it makes on eBay will depend on the day, but if you list it describing it correctly, with good pictures, it should fly.
You can accurately say that this is the favourite fish design of a major Mdina collector, though!

You were spot on about the signature Sue ... I emailed Mdina and Nevise Said has replied confirming that it is Joseph Said's signature :) You know your stuff!!! Thank you again.
