Yes, I admit I was the first to put 'Axehead' in print - partly as that is what seemed to be the general name at the time. I am sorry - I didn't know any better then, but I do now. I guess that is what 'learning' is about - this market was very young then, with tantamount to no real coverage. So, they ARE 'Fish' as that was what Michael Harris intended them to be called! As Sue also correctly says, this a later shape (more squared off) and colourway.
Also, could I be just a little pedantic and say that these listings (Mdina/IOW & Sklo Union) appear in the "DK Collectables Price Guides" by Judith Miller and published by Dorling Kindersley, for which I am co-author. I know it's common parlance to call us all 'Miller's', but we have nothing at all to do with 'Miller's', which is actually another book published by another company!
Thanks,
Mark

Sorry Mark!  I went and checked, and yes, you are right of course... the one with the axehead in it is a DK, in my ordinary Millers Collectables, the one lollipop I could find is just called a Mdina vase  ::)

MarkHill:
Hi all,
Thanks for the updates and changes over the Miller's and Judith Miller price guide issue. A lot of people here refer to our guides as the 'J.Miller' book, but then they may also/actually be referring to our 20thC Glass book. I know that the 'DK Collectables Price Guide by Judith Miller' is a tad long-winded to say the least, so I guess the best thing to do is to call 'Millers' what they are and then either call ours the Judith Miller Collectables Guide or the DK Collectables Guide - at least both differentiate from Millers.
As they say in cloying Hollywood films, but honestly meant here - thank you for caring!!
Best,
Mark

Anyway Mark, it is so excellent to have you here, that to call your books by their correct name is the very least we can do!
