Title: Mdina Zig-Zag bowl ...............
Post by: Patrick on January 09, 2017, 10:16:02 AM

Hi,
 This topic has been started to show a recent find that was made by Angela Watson on Ebay USA and she is happy for it to be shared here.
 
I was able to help her buy it (Seller would only post to a USA address ) and I brought it back when I visited my sister recently.

It is a beautiful example, 8 inches diameter and very heavy.

It is unsigned and possibly bought originally in Malta or maybe it was sold by a US importer ( if there was an importer at the time )

Patrick.

Yes a beautiful object, this is what has started my queries into the RCA one.

It is nice, looks as if the zig-zags are cobalt too.
I still haven't seen the marks on the other one, but cannot believe, with a Mdina label on it, that they are either original or right. They must have been added at a later date by somebody dodgy.

I have grabbed the marks here and enhanced the image to show them more clearly........

Dodgy, very, very dodgy. So dodgy it made me snort then giggle. ::)

If it was mine, it would be straight off to a polisher to get those marks removed.
