Jim was definitely at Mdina with Harris for a while, 9 months maybe.

Thanks. The shape of this new one reminded me of the small lollipops made at Isle of Wight Studio Glass in the 70s.

Stunning collection!  We're just learning about ours, with much help and information from others on this site... attached a photo of ours (signed Michael Harris, Mdina Glass, Malta), we believe it to be (after seeking advice!) a faceted cut-ice lollipop.

Sorry, rather late but yes you are spot on!

A fabulous bit of luck yesterday, for me anyway when a customer walked in and wanted to swap this lollipop vase for a large Kosta Boda Satellite vase. Happy days, this lollipop is a nice variation on the usual theme in amethyst and yellow ochre. It is quite large for a lollipop at over 22cm, very thick and heavy, asymmetric and unsigned.

A couple more examples in these colours:
