Would you try using the download facilities provided here, James?
There are several sets of instructions, all for different computer programmes, just look around for the instructions that go with the thing you use. It makes it far easier for folk to see your images and it means the thread doesn't loose them either. Thanks. :thup:

From the marks you describe, it would appear to be dated 2009, I've not a clue what the rest means. It would be interesting to see it - Joseph Said's daughter, Olivia, currently the top masterglassmaker at Mdina, produces some truly wonderful large pieces.

Might be well worth having a looking at the currently Mdina website. There's a good possibility if it was made in 2009, that it should be on their somewhere. Link below:

Look forward to the pictures.

Looks modern production from the picture, difficult to ascertain the shape, could you add a few other larger pictures showing the shape please.

I think it's a matter of choice of how members choose to show their images on here TinyPic disappear after a while which is quite irritating when going through old posts, most of the photo hosting sites are pretty poor again nothing more irritating than to have to open 6 photobucket links to see 6 photos I have posted permanent photos on here before I personally find that irritating and you are restricted by the amount of photos you can post and re-sizing them to fit the restrictions I find a pain but again I spend 14 hours a day at work and 6 in bed so I find  Picasa  album suits me especially for my eBay listing, believe me I have tried most of the photo hosting sites over the last 10 years and for a around £5 a year this is the best with some great features and unless you delete the album which why would you anyway? if you are a serious collector or dealer it provides a great reference too go back on, of course that is only my opinion but it works for me.

Thanks for the extra pictures, much easier to see the shape.  I maybe missing it, but can't seem to see that exact same shape on the Mdina website, some very similar. Might be worth emailing them, sure they will confirm the shape.
The 09 is definitely the year of production, furthermore the colour and use of plastic stickers are good indicators of age.
