Title: Mdina Set
Post by: adam20 on May 01, 2011, 10:02:05 AM

I call this a set because they are so similar - the faceted vase and paperweight

The vase is 6.7" high and the paperweight 4" high


Any idea of date or maker

Maker? They are both signed Mdina.

Colour is known as Tiger, date could be anywhere from the late 70s, again that same signature so at least into the 80's.

Tiger is an Eric Dobson design, which dates the design to the early '70s, but as John says, both bits could be from well into the '80s. Tiger is currently called "Marble". It's been in production since Eric Dobson designed it.
