Post by: Sue C on December 18, 2007, 09:41:48 AM: Does anyone know whose work this is? the rim of the pot and the pontil scar are covered in what look's like copper??

it very much reminds me of Phoenician Glass, Malta , Leonard Mulligan, formerly
with Mdina,certainly the shape and the
irridescent glass, the strange copper coating however, i havent seen before.

the best and nicest piece of Phoenician glass that i have ever seen, I will take a photo
tomorrow, i have been looking for a similar piece for several years but never seen one again!
I have had a couple of xmas drinks tonight, but i may have something to eat, and put it in a new
thread, because i think its quite unusual!
See you later,
Andy
