About the Item
A vintage Mdina Glass spill vase, handcrafted in Malta during the 1970s, showcasing the rich artistry of Maltese studio glass. This piece exemplifies the workshop’s signature approach—organic forms, bold colouring, and expressive internal decoration—characteristics that define collectible Mdina art glass.
The vase features a classic spill form with a slender cylindrical body and flared lip, originally intended to hold tapers or spills beside a fireplace. Its deep cyan-blue glass is richly saturated, contrasted by swirling ribbons of ochre and yellow in the "Endless Summer" pattern—one of Mdina’s most recognisable and sought-after colourways.
The piece retains its original Mdina Glass label to the front and is hand-signed to the base, confirming its authenticity and period production. A fine example of vintage Maltese decorative glassware, offering both sculptural impact and historical interest.
In very good vintage condition, with minimal signs of wear consistent with age.

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta
By Mdina, Michael Harris
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...
