Additional Information :

Such was the “creative synergy” between the competing Maltese art glass manufacturers induced by artisans moving form one factory to another that it can difficult to specify the source factory when a piece ais not marked. Not all Mdina was signed. experimental pieces were retailed. Valletta and Phoenecian glass have used paper labels.

This is as uniquely Maltese as Qaghaq Tal Ghasel and Lampuki Pie ! Having spoken with Mdina we are as sure as they are they this is their creative output. It is the most attractive piece of Maltese art glass we have seen in a long time
