Mdina or MDG?

<< < (2/2)

glassobsessed:
The pattern does look right for MDG, the amber does not seem as dark as usual but that is not enough to say no for me, from memory a variety of finishes crop up on the bases.

chopin-liszt:
The other right for MDG thing is the shape - it's perfectly right and the right proportions. Even down to the very fine flat rim.

chasdevlin:
I've just had another look at the base and to my inexpert eyes it does seem totally flat and smooth.
Many thanks to both of you for your input which has really helped me learn more about the piece.

chopin-liszt:
I think this fully flat base could just be an anomaly then.  Everything else about it just screams MDG.
And we do know that they did do some unusual and experimental colour combinations.

As you know, John, there is that lovely heavy little pot with the flanged rim which looks Ming-ish in the grid pattern, but the strapping is actually green. So putting amber with blue should not be unexpected.
I cannot think what else this bottle could possibly be.
And while the base might not be the "battutto" thing, it's still not fully polished which should discount it, but rough, which would be right. ;D
