Heavy, thick walled, wide bulbous main body tapers slightly toward the base and is accented by a distinct flared collar neck. The horizontal banding style reflects the innovative techniques introduced by Mdina founder Michael Harris in the late 1960s and 1970s. This is an unusually large example with nice proportions, beautiful form and unique pale green color.
Michael Harris (1933-1994) was a pioneering English glassworker and designer. Seeking to prove the commercial viability of the standalone studio glass workshop, Harris and his business partner Eric Dobson moved to Malta and established Mdina Glass in a converted ex-RAF hangar, making it the first producer of handmade glassware on the Maltese islands.
