Hello Blair, These are called Fish vases, axehead is a serious misnomer!

This is of a later date than Michael Harris, I would think after Joseph Said took over. Pink did not come in until the '80's.

Haven't you managed to get hold of Mark Hill's book "Michael Harris: Mdina Glass & Isle of Wight studio Glass" yet? You do seem to have an interest in this glass, ;D ;D ;D, demonstrating your excellent good taste! The book is fantastic.

Glasshound:
Thank You Sue!

Actually, this is the first piece of Mdina I've ever picked up   ;D

I'll definitely have to pick up that book..

Cheers.

Aha, but you've posted Isle of Wight Studio Glass before, haven't you?

or am I losing it again.... :-\

The book's available on the usual internet buying site, I'm pretty sure it's on BiN on eBay and I think it's also available through Mark Hill Publishing. ;D

But it looks way more like an axehead than a fish  ;) :)
