I have a pink-ish/red-ish one, very similar, but without the flared rim. I have suspected Mtarfa for some time, but never had any confirmation. This one of yours also looks quite Mtarfa-ish, I suspect a hint of a bit of potential confirmation, given the colours of both are right.

Got one almost the same shape, mine has a different rim, and the decoration is a red colour, i'm still not sure about it being one of his though.

The red in mine is the sort of dull, dead blood-like colour often found in Maltese glass, not a bright red at all.
I'll add it to the list of things I need to photograph. ::)  :)
It doesn't feel like Sankey's work, but I suppose it could be. Mine has always been a bit of a mystery, but I did assume from Malta, because of the shade of red and the "dirtiness" of the white.

Those both look a bit more elegant and more finely blown.
You've been migrating, TC?  :) Where in the world are you now?
It is good to see you around again. :)

TY, I'm still in the North East, no change.
