Phoenician Glass Vase, signed, late C20th
A glass vase of slender bottle form, the globular body rising to a tall cylindrical neck flaring outwards to the top rim, the vertical banded decoration employing a mixture of yellows, mustard and greens on a blue ground and possibly intended to represent seaweed, the base with etched script marks ‘Phoenician’ and ‘Malta’ and the body with a diamond shape affixed paper label reading ‘PHOENICIAN GLASS’ ‘MALTA’Phoenician Glass was founded on Manoel Island, Malta in the 1980s by Leonard Sullivan, who had worked previously at Mdina Glass and many of his designs resembled those of his old employers. Certainly, the influence of Mdina and perhaps that of one of its founders, Michael Harris, can be seen here. Phoenician Glass took its name from the ancient Phoenician civilisation, which colonised Malta during the first millenium BC.
