Large Michael Harris Axe Vase??

(1/5) > >>

chuggy:
Bought a huge Mdina axe vase today at auction. No markings at all, but a real big beastie with lots of lovely purples and browns. Now as this has no markings am I right in thinking it to be an early piece whilst Michael Harris was still at Mdina, or possibly even a Harris piece. I'll post a piccy tomorrow when I've collected the days haul.

Called a 'Fish' vase Paul! :wink:

I know David, but looks more like an axe head to me they must have some very peculiar looking fish in Maltese waters.

OK no info so heres a picture of the vase. It stands 11.25 inches high and 10.5 inches across and is about 3 inches thick across its middle. It's a purple sommerso with a pale amber layer outside of that but also has internal opalescent strapping and clear strapping to the outside. So someone please tell me is this a Michael Harris piece? Anyway I reckon it was the bargain of the auction yesterday so I'm a happy bunny.

I've never seen an axe vase quite like that one!
