About the Item
An evocative example of 1980s art glass, this cylindrical vase was produced by Mdina Glass in Malta under the direction of Michael Harris—a pivotal figure in the development of British and Mediterranean glass design. Dated to the early 1980s, the piece reflects the era’s experimental post-modern aesthetic, with a dynamic balance of formal control and expressive spontaneity.
The body is formed from fiery, marbled orange glass—deeply saturated with intermittent translucency—overlaid with vivid green glass trails, applied by hand in a loose, web-like motif. The composition is emblematic of Harris’s later work at Mdina, where bold colour contrasts and organic surface treatments became signature elements of the studio’s output.
Measuring 20 cm in height and 8.5 cm in diameter, the vase is signed Mdina to the base and remains in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips or restoration.

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...
