I‘m really a bit astonished. In Germany Mdina is quiet often to be found on fleemarkets. Mostly unknown by the owners. They are usually only 1-5 €, well not a early Harris. I think I have to buy them and give them to you, Mdina seems to be one of the UK favorites . I own an owl and a parfuem flakon.

Early on in the factory's life, new work was exported to Germany for sale.
There is quite a lot of decent stuff hiding away there. ;D

And they seem to fit perfectly to UK taste. For me they are not clear enough, I prefer single color or designs where the colors are not so washed together. In future I take them home and offer them to you, sell them one by one, I don‘t want to make money with them.

Funny you should say that. Your tastes seem to be exactly the same as those of a lovely German student who adopted us to be her Scottish family.  ;D

Age is just a number, Monika. I'm 62. Katrin, who adopted us, is only 30. She has a Finnish adopted family too. You never know when somebody new and lovely is about to come into your life.
We keep her slippers waiting at the front door for her. :)

Always a conversation stopper! Sorry Kev. But you might need to keep an eye on us. 
I do have impulse control problems.  ::)

A very nice zig zag vase indeed and almost cobalt blue in the colourway.
