Mdina pulled ear glass Vase, Blue Summer pattern, signed, second half C20th
A stoutly blown glass vase of tapering ovoid form with a narrow neck and a widely flaring rim the sides ‘pulled’ to resemble stylised ears, the base flat with an etched signature ‘Mdina’, the blue flecked glass with colourings of green and yellow.Mdina Glass was founded in the Maltese town of Mdina in 1968 by Michael Harris and Eric Dobson. The town had no history of glass making but the venture proved to be a success. Its wares, free formed organic glassware, often in colours inspired from the sea, sand, earth and sky, proved very popular with tourists visiting Malta. This vase is one of the earlier productions made by Mdina (the format of the signature confirms this) probably dating to the 1970s and, if not designed by Michael Harris, it certainly resembles the organic forms he created and the colourings, often referred to as ‘sea and sand’ although more correctly termed ‘blue summer’, reflect this. The raised detail to the sides enhances the overall profile contributing to a piece of satisfying charm.
