Lot 636: A Mdina Glass Striated Art Glass Vase

A Mdina Glass striated art glass vase, hand-blown with an inverted pear or teardrop shape, featuring a gently flared, narrow mouth and a rounded base. The translucent glass showcases swirling patterns of teal, aqua, and sandy yellow-gold, interspersed with silvery-brown metallic-like areas. The vessel is accented by numerous small, trapped air bubbles, particularly dense towards the base. Vertical striations are visible, especially in the upper section, and the glass exhibits a somewhat iridescent or weathered surface. The item is consistent with pieces identified as “Mdina Malta Glass” in historical records and market listings.
