Mdina Glass Bottle Shape Vase
« on: March 23, 2017, 01:07:35 PM »
I do not think there is anything special about this . It look similar to some of the decanter shape bottle vases with the large stoppers, but most of the ones I can see on the web have a flat rim.  I cannot find anything exactly the same.

Height 5.5" and weighs 930 gm.

Signed Mdina to base.

It is an unusual shape, I suspect it dates to some time after Harris left, mid to late '70s, perhaps into the '80s, but it was not continued as a shape.
I have one with Said's Chevron pattern on it.
