Topic: ID help with pink glass vase

[Roobarb]

Hello, do you recognise this vase? Any help with maker or era would be great. It's 13cm tall. Thank you.

I suspect Maltese. The shape is right. But I don't think it's Mdina, the pink colour would be solid, not produced by rolling in powdered enamels, which causes me to worry a good bit.
I'm not really sure, to be honest. First impressions were Mdina, until I saw the powdered enamels.
It might be Phoenician, but again I don't know about the use of powdered enamels. They used solid blobs, as did Mdina.

reminds me of Midsummer glass for some reason.
But having had a look they seem to have a different base on the ones I could see. Something imprinted in the pontil mark?
There are one or two in a similar shape to this though and I think they were fond of pink at one stage.

Thank you both! Looking online there does seem to be similar items for all of these suggestions. The most similar I've been able to find is Phoenician.

I've been looking at some of my Phoenician and nothing uses powdered enamels. It's all chips which make blobs.
Everything about it screams Maltese, apart from the use of powdered enamels. Which rule Maltese out. 
Flying-free's suggestion might be worth pursuing.

The photos are too grainy to work out whether powdered enamels were used for the pink.
It might be a later thing they did at Mdina, but all the bits I've handled used solid enamels.

It looks as if it belongs with those Mdina bits John. It's only peering at the pics I can see the use of powders in Roobarb's. 

[Roobarb]

Thanks John, it does look really similar to those Mdina ones. Maybe it is Mdina and a bit of powder snook its way into the mix one day

[chopin-liszt]

It would be a completely different technique, though.

Very left field I know, but it reminds me for some reason of some Ulrica Hydman-Vallien vases.
