    Mdina Maldese
    (Ma

    signed
    mid-20th century
    hand blown amorphic, abstract
    'lollipop'
    art glass vessel,
    dated '1977'
    and with the art glass studio's self-described
    'tiger pattern'
    design. It has an incredibly delicate and thin ascending neck and pouring spout, that rise from a cut and polished split face. The piece is signed with a scrolled maker's mark on the baseplate which has a few shallow abrasions, caused from being previously moved on hard surfaces. The upper portion of the vase is nearly immaculate, with perhaps a few tiny 'touches' found on its sides, which aren't flea-bites or nicks but rather tiny marks on the clear glass surfaces of the color field's clear glass surround. The vessel has the appearance of an upside-down lollipop, thus its given name. It was made at the famous Mediterranean island state of
    Malta,
    glass studio of
    Michael Harris,
    who founded the
    Modernist
    art glass workshop in
    1968
    but who left in
    1972,
    due to political strife. This glass piece was inspired by
    Harris's
    original designs and was created by one of his student proteges who stayed on the island and kept working there. Very fine. A simply gorgeous and killer piece of
    Modernist
    art glass. Superlative.
    CONDITION:
    Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
