Topic: Mdina Tricorn Bottle

Very pleased with today's purchase. I'm guessing the remains of the oval label will have been a price ticket. This is 13.75ins tall.

This also has the Made in Malta label with a hand written MR/1 code on it.

Very nice trails of silvery iridesence around it.

Nae bad at all Sue - on a shelf for now and maybe I'll be allowed to keep it

Great find, not that many of them around.

Would agree the oval label probably for price at some time, saying that, also wondering if it might be from an outlet selling glass in Valletta - have we seen oval labels marked Valletta before?

Nice piece, Boffo I think. Interesting scribed signature on the base, can you possibly put a clearer pic of that up pls?

I hadn't noticed that,  it looks as if it might be Michael Harris' writing.

Indeed Sue

Whoops - I hadn't realised there had been more discussion on this. Picture here as asked and thanks for the comments.

oooh....
It's hard to tell because it blows up very big, and starts to look a bit more Marie-like, but I think it might well be Michael Harris' writing.
I think of you every time I look at my bottle now, Alastair.

There are at least two of these in Dundee, maybe we should have won the city of culture thingy, if only they'd known about us.
