About the Item

Unique blown glass piece designed by Michael Harris, a pioneer in modern glass art and founder of Mdina Glass in Malta in 1968. This work reflects Harris's artistic vision, inspired by the vibrant Mediterranean landscapes to create unique pieces with organic shapes and dazzling colors. The "Mdina" signature engraved on the base confirms its origin as a creation from the renowned workshop during his artistic direction. The sculpture features an abstract design with a captivating combination of green, blue, and yellow tones, encapsulated in transparent glass that enhances its dynamism and depth. Michael Harris was known for experimenting with innovative techniques and bold color palettes, positioning him as a key figure in the revival of artistic glass in the second half of the 20th century. This object is not only an elegant decorative piece but also a historical artifact that embodies the legacy of one of the greatest glass designers of the 20th century. Perfect for collectors and modern design enthusiasts, this sculpture represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship in blown glass design.
