Title: If not Mdina then what???? ID = Malta Decorative Glass
Post by: keith on October 05, 2009, 05:36:07 PM

Thought this was Mdina but after posting a picture of it in reference to another piece of glass I was informed that(which I can now see) the base is not 'right' so,any ideas please,heavy and 9.5 ins tall,it is only a little darker than the photo came out,Keith.

Just scrolling through the un id'd  - has this been id'd as Malta Decorative Glass Keith?  I thought I remembered there had been some discussion about it on another thread perhaps.

Not Mdina but very likely Malta Decorative Glass Keith, you may have tacked it onto another thread (can't find it at the moment).

I was just looking at this again this morning and wondered about the pontil mark being ground but not polished.  However I then found this post which does show a piece of Malta Decorative Glass with a similar pontil mark.

Definitely Malta Decorative Glass; the brown and the pontil mark (though these vary), everything are spot on.

You posted this a long time ago Keith, and I'm sure we told you it was Mdina - but then the story about MDG started emerging, making itself known to us (me, John, Christine, Suzy).

I'm sure I did tell you somewhere , in some other thread, Keith, that this bottle was MDG. We were all watching this suspected MDG stuff, waiting for more bits of the jigsaw to emerge.

ah... now Sue has said this, I've a feeling it was said in the *how do you display your glass* thread  :)  - but I've no idea what page number  ;D  :o

I'm sure m's right, it was that thread - but I should have made it clearer, Keith, shouted a bit louder, rather than just passing a comment along the way! Actually, I should have written to you personally. I did mean to.

Keith, have you any idea how many pieces of my own glass I know I've id'd somehow but oops, I really did mean to stick a sticky label on the bottom of the vase but somehow that didn't happen  ;D
I only bumped this one because Frank gave a nudge a while ago about trying to id some in the unresolved section, so I thought I'd have a try  :)
Funnily enough I haven't managed any myself ::) but I do have quite a good memory, so bumped those that I thought others had id'd elsewhere

I'm in the process of photographing the collection and numbering each piece in relation to a written record although I've only got as far as 1996 with the photos so I may be sometime before I 'get my act together' :-[ :-[,will try to do better ;D
