Any input welcomed.

Hi, definately Mdina, around mid to late 70s at a guess. This design is also seen in a few other shapes, the stoppered bottles, being another that crops up fairly regularly. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply Greg,I never know where to place item's  in the i.o.w. Mdina scheme of things.
I think mdina glass is very underrated.

Your welcome.

Just remembered Andy's previous thread a few years back regarding this pattern, quite a comprehensive selection of shapes!
