Maltese/Mtarfa vase? Any ID help please?
« on: March 20, 2024, 07:38:09 PM »
Can any members ID the maker of this vase please? I am thinking Mtarfa Glass. It is signed but I can't confirm the signature on the base...it is rather vague. Height is roughly 4 inches. Thank you as always, for any help.

 :) Mtarfa. I recognise the pattern, and that sort of squiggle is right too.
It is very squiggly. And upside down, I think. The slant normally goes in the other direction.

Thank you Chopin. I thought it was. I love the colours. Mtarfa produced some lovely ware and is, in my opinion, rather under-rated.

I think so  ;D - and Phoenician is very underrated too.
Your vase is also a very typical Mtarfa shape.
