Bought recently thinking it maybe a Mdina glass although it has an unusual too my eyes anyway
color way it is a bit like Tortoiseshell but yellow more than Ochre in the back ground to what i know as Mdina
colors maybe an unusual color for Germany i think they had yellow & red pieces more for their markets this
maybe another for their or similar for another country??? The textured sides of the bottle have deep indents
similar to other pieces that Mdina made for some reason i can not remember this color ???? Sadly got rid of
my books on this subject so hoping the Mdina experts can help me. In any case i love it as it has lovely colors and
is really weighty the base clear part is slightly bluish i think in tint rather than clear? Measures 14 x 10.5 x 9.5 cm
Thanks for looking :)

:) It is absolutely fine. Just a nice early bit of Earthtones.
I tried to find the bits that had this lovely striated sort of strapping in them rather than the more blocky solid rope-like sort. It's a fairly well known sort of experimental shape, with that wide neck and the sides probably marvered flat.
Mdina Tortoiseshell is just plain deep brown striations spots and swirls, it doesn't have the yellow.
It's IoWSG Tortoiseshell that is yellow and brown. It confuses me, but that's not hard. ;D

Thanks Sue, Can understand why you are a little confused i am fuddled as well
i thought it looked good but could not remember this color at all :) Really pleased
now. Can you guess what kind of time line it may have been made in the factories
production period i am guessing from what you have said possibly when Mr Harris
was setting the place up or later on either way i am chuffed thanks anyway Dan

Possibly shortly after Harris left?
Around the early-mid '70s, before Said took over, I reckon.
