Thanks for sharing.

Really not keen on any of their new stuff. Seems garish and ugly.

Hi,
 I have just added this brief comment to the video "Mdina glass was started in 1968 by Michael Harris and Eric Dobson and it was 17 years later that Joseph Said bought Mdina from Eric Dobson."

Hopefully it will remain there for all to see...............

Regards,

Patrick.

Yes that is the way it reads, according to the Mark Hill book......

Michael Harris sold shares to Joseph Said in 1972 and when Eric Dobson left in 1985  Joseph becomes the sole owner of the company.

I thought the Harris' kept some shares, (as investment).
