Trailed Mdina I think.  I have some in red and turquoise.

M is spot on, Mdina.
Not seen quite as often as the other colourway in this style of orangey red trails on a bluey green body (there has been some debate over the exact colours!).

Yup, absolutely.
I'm not sure this colourway isn't earlier than the reddy orange and blue trailed range - it is certainly harder to find, and it is a much more complex piece.
The body of clear glass is crizzled with silver chloride under the trailing - while the reddy orange in the clear body of the other, far more common range, is simply swirled like stained glass.
