Mdina or Gozo?
« on: June 10, 2006, 10:54:54 PM »
All these items have something in common. You can see through the base and out to the other end.

I'm thinking either Mdina or Gozo but I'm not sure.

7.50 inches high

5 inches high. This one has the same kind of base which I can see through.

This one, I think, has a concave pontil but I can still see though the base and out to the other end. Around 3 inches high.

Just found this thread on a search so thought I'd bump it for Sue's attention.

The first I'd say is not. Much of the Maltese glass is signed and the base doesn't look right.

The second could be IoW? The mottled pink is one such colour, I think, but I'm not sure about that particular shape.

Third I've no idea!

Thanks.

Here's the base of the second vase.

On all of them the decoration sits on top of the glass rather than inside the glass.

:D :? :D

Hi, I didn't comment before, because I don't know!

The first and third ones I do not think are anything to do with anything Harrisy. the first, most definitely not, the third, not quite so definitely not.

The middle one I'm not sure.  I have a flat, round bottle in pinks and whites, similar to this, with purple and gold strapping set in it. When I bought it, I was pretty convinced it had a Harris connection, in fact, it was the similarity between the round pink thing and Jonathan Harris's "Horizon" vase that convinced me.  I still don't know if it's IoWSG, Mdina, Gozo, Kerry or even Guernsey.

Your middle one looks like my round one, which looks like Jonathan Harris's Horizon.

However, your middle one looks nothing like Jonathan Harris's Horizon. If that makes any sense!
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Could the middle one be Mtarfa? I know they normally sign, but strapping is something they employ and they do use pinks. The shape's niggling me: I've seen similar vases and have a feeling it was Maltese.

IoWSG made vases and perfume bottles with a turned over lip at the sides - eg. the Precious Mosaic Collection, but it is turned over much more than the pink vase shown. It doesn't say Mtarfa to me, but I could be wrong.

Try asking IoWSG Archives, or Mark Hill.

Thanks for your replies.

I've tried registering with the IoWSG board but all I get is an error message.

"Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The field 'phpbb_users.user_login_tries' cannot contain a Null value because the Required property for this field is set to True. Enter a value in this field., SQL state S1000 in SQLExecDirect in \\nas11ent\domains\i\isleofwightstudioglass.co.uk\user\htdocs\phpBB2\db\msaccess.php on line 159"

"Could not insert data into users table".

Sue actually posted a message on there about problems registering:

However, I've just tried and my user name doesn't appear in the list so it'll be necessary to contact admin, I feel..
