Title: Mdina vase for show.
Post by: keith on December 20, 2022, 02:00:57 PM

Apart from the lovely colours I'd not seen this shape before so it came home with me 5.5 inches tall with the standard Mdina mark to the base,  ;D

This chevron pattern is named "Roman" and was designed by Joseph Said.
I have noticed it comes in two forms - one with the silver salt decor on the surface and the other where it is cased. This looks like a cased one and I like the cased ones much better - the colours are much more subtle and you get those lovely ochre surrounded bubbles. Has it got silver deposit trails on the outside? My favourite one does.
I have seen this shape before. Once. It just had the traditional design of a vertical streak of silver salt decor, subsequently spread around the vessel.
