About the Item
Handcrafted in Malta in the 1970s, this Mdina Glass solifleur vase exemplifies the studio’s bold and experimental approach. Sometimes referred to as the axe head vase, the form is defined by its angular hexagonal body and slim tapering neck.
The vase combines layers of cobalt blue and cyan glass with a central rounded section of pink and white mottled glass, creating a striking play of contrasting tones and shifting depth. Each piece from Mdina’s workshop was individually shaped by hand, giving this example its organic irregularity and sculptural presence.
Measuring 18 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 5 cm deep, it is both a functional solifleur/bud vase and a collectible object in its own right. In very good condition, with light wear consistent with age. A fine example of 1970s Mdina studio glass, valued for its vibrant colour palette and bold axehead form.
