Hi, any help with an attribution - an educated guess will do - greatly appreciated  :).

Has the flame pontil mark ( flame on the left hand side ).
I understand however that Kerry Glass and St John's Glass also used the flame pontil mark  - hence
my uncertainty!

It's only about 5cm high.

For what it's worth, my uneducated guess would be that it's IOWSG - based on its colours.

Thanks for looking.

Scott

IoWSG. The others didn't use silver chloride. :)
Some early IoWSG does contain teal coloured enamels that came from Mdina, the Harris family took all they owned back with them when they left Malta.

It is a very pretty one, not quite their "normal" style and showing influence/carry on from Mdina.
