possible Maltese owl. ID = Mdina
Paul S.:
very nice Chris - thanks for posting - they do make for a very attractive colour mix. So does appear they are probably a fair bit older than I first thought.
rosieposie:
Lovely owls... all of them, thank you for sharing them with us... I have a few, but never enough! ;)

chriscooper's owl is a completely different decor to the one Paul posted, it's one in which a rib mould has been used to incorporate the silver chloride salts internally.
The one Paul showed has a mosaic-like surface decor of silver chloride effects, and as John said, it is a hard decor to find, and only ever found on very small pieces. I'm not sure of the date, perhaps mid-late '80s/early '90s. I don't think it was continued for any great length of time, given the scarcity of this decor.
It is mostly found on owls. I have a little squat pot vase, about 2" tall and 3" wide.
Paul S.:
A very big thanks Sue - you are such a store-house of information on this subject :)

This design apppears to be contemporary with another produced on similar small items. It's a surface decor, of a matt pink backgound , with deeper pink spots and stretched blue splodgy bits. I think it's really, really horrible, but it's even scarcer than this lovely patchwork pattern in teal blue and mirrored yellow.
I'll get a pic of my little squat pot, and one of the horrible matt pink thing. I do have an example of it. It would show the shape of other things which might have the really attractive design on.
No light atm.
