About the Item

This modern glass perfume bottle by Mdina was handcrafted in Malta during the 1970s, embodying the studio’s signature blend of vibrant colour and modern form. The piece adopts a sculptural silhouette, featuring a squat cylindrical body with a slender neck and flaring lip, topped by an oversized spherical stopper. Executed in Mdina’s celebrated “Sand and Sea” glass technique, the turquoise body is interlaced with swirling striations of soft yellow and white, evoking the shifting colours and textures of the Maltese coastline. Each bottle is individually hand-blown, ensuring subtle variations that reflect the artistry and Mediterranean sensibility of the Mdina glass studio. The bottle stands 12 cm tall with a diameter of approximately 10 cm and is signed to the underside. It remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age consistent with its handcrafted nature. A distinctive decorative accent or an elegant addition to a collection of Mdina glass or modern art glass, this bottle exemplifies the seamless dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design in Maltese glass art.

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta
By Michael Harris, Mdina
Located in Glasgow, GB
A rare signed Mdina Glass vase from Malta, dated 1979, exemplifying the studio’s bold aesthetic during its formative years. This decorative squat bottle vase is worked in the celebrated ‘Ming’ pattern, with swirling bands of turquoise blue and deep green glass layered over a base of sparkling golden ochre. The colours twist upward in irregular spirals around the rotund body, forming a richly tactile surface that captures the light beautifully. This form—low, broad, and full-bodied—is less commonly encountered, particularly in this scale. Measuring 16.5 cm in both height and diameter, it’s a commanding example of vintage Mdina glass...
