This flared cylinder shape was used by Mdina, Phoenecian too I think. There are a couple more signed Mdina vases within the current sold listings on ebay that have this same white spot on a pink background.

As to the use of powdered colour or not, experimentation has always been part of the ethos at the glassworks. It would be far more of a surprise if they had never been used.

It could be something they did later on.
That's the only thing that worries me - everything else is spot on.
Chunky, the correct shape and size, and well-known,

Earth without art is just eh.

The two in sold listings have the signature that can read 'Molina'.

Would the fact that it's not signed mean that it not Mdina, Molina or Phoenecian?

No. Lack of a mark doesn't mean anything. Sometimes things didn't get marked. It's extra work at the factory, and when they were busy they didn't bother with these sorts of extra finishing details.
Molina is just what the Mdina mark on the bottom looks like, from some time in the '80s. The letter d has a gap in it. :)
