It's a bit hard to tell what it's really like from this image - does the green colour come from a combination of blue, with cloudy ambery bits underneath, or is a simple plain pure green? Are there any coloured textures within it?

If it's plain green, I've not a clue, if it's a combination of colours, it could be Mdina.

What is the base like?

Is it a heavy piece?

Hi Sue.  Firstly may I apologise for not getting back to you sooner.     :-[  I have attached better images and hope this will assist you in identification.  The vase is very light for it's size. The actual colour is turquoise.  There is a ripple effect around the base of the vase.  Thanks for your interest and help.  :thup:

Not to worry Sue.  Just to let you know that I do have some vases that are similar to this.  They are marked as Mdina.  I will have to put them on tomorrow to confirm.  They are so many versions of this particular shape.   Hopefully someone else maybe able to assist?

They may be similar Otis, but this one is 100% Not Mdina
