About the Item

This turquoise and green decorative glass vase is a fine example of mid-century Maltese glass artistry, crafted in the 1970s by the noted studio Mdina Glass. Formed in a squat bottle shape, it features a generously rounded base tapering gracefully into a slender, flared neck, creating a sculptural and tactile presence. The vase showcases the vibrant “Ming” style, distinguished by luminous bands of turquoise and green swirling through the translucent body, delicately interspersed with subtle golden flecks. The “Ming” series has become highly sought after among collectors of Maltese glass for its vivid colours and captivating light play. Measuring 12 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter, this piece bears a signature on its underside and is offered in excellent vintage condition, without damage or chips. A beautifully executed work of Maltese art glass, ideal as a distinctive accent piece or addition to a collection focused on 20th-century decorative glass.

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...
