The piece adopts a sculptural silhouette, featuring a squat cylindrical body with a slender neck and flaring lip, topped by an oversized spherical stopper. Executed in Mdina’s celebrated “Sand and Sea” glass technique, the turquoise body is interlaced with swirling striations of soft yellow and white, evoking the shifting colours and textures of the Maltese coastline. Each bottle is individually hand-blown, ensuring subtle variations that reflect the artistry and Mediterranean sensibility of the Mdina glass studio. The bottle stands 12 cm tall with a diameter of approximately 10 cm and is signed to the underside. It remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age consistent with its handcrafted nature. A distinctive decorative accent or an elegant addition to a collection of Mdina glass or modern art glass, this bottle exemplifies the seamless dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design in Maltese glass art.
