Good morning Darcey,  just a little tip to help with photographs of signatures,  they show up really clearly when you add a little talcum powder to them, and rub the surplus off. 
It does look as though there is some further writing in the top right hand corner, a signature perhaps???

Also,  it would help those of us who are up on Mdina glass ( not really me I'm afraid, unless it is an anaimal or bird ) to see you pictures more clearly if you could make them bigger.  On the home page there is a very helpful and informative thread giving advice on this:

There is lots of other useful info there as well under 'Board Information, Help & Announcements'.

I can't find this design in their current catalogue, but perhaps if you were to write to them to ask when it was made they would be able to help you?
It's a recent design you have - the 56 does not refer to any date.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
