Many thanks Ron for taking time to put me straight, my new fish and I can live in harmony now that I know it's pedigree. Much like the fish, I was floundering, but now it's got a plaice in my heart.

:D :shock: :D

Hello Paul,
I agree it's a beezer, I'm glad you're keeping this for yourself, (next to giving/selling it to me, first refusal bagged!). I'm delighted you've let your heart rule over it!

Hello Ron,
I'm afraid I think you might be in error here, because I have one of these, 12.25 inches tall, 10.5 inches wide, 2.2 inches deep, and it is signed "Michael Harris, Mdina Glass, Malta."

Hi All,
Well well, just goes to show you can never say never. But in defence I didn't make a definative statement as someone will always come up with the evidence which will prove you wrong, and you did! Well done Sue. Mike clearly did sign items made by his team if requested but I still think you will find that it was the other glass makers who came up with this shape variation. But again of course you can never be sure. Mike always felt morally obliged to sign any pieces when asked by a customer for a signature and as far as we know during his term they were not signed by any of the others. (Go on then somebody come up with an example !! I can live with it - just ! ) So this could have been made by one of the, then fairly skillfull, team towards the end of Mike's term there and he would have felt obliged to sign it. The interesting fact is that this more extreme shape was not produced at the IoW when he moved there but the rounded shapes were (albeit it fairly close in character)  so it could be assumed that he did not consider that this was his design but a variation. Does that make sense?? No ? Go on then prove me wrong again and I'll go away and forever hold my peace ???!!??!!!!
Is this going to run ?? I don't think I will live that long !!
Ron & Ann

Do a search on Graal, there are threads, mostly in archive forum with lots of details.
