AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spectacular vase object, designed by Michael Harris and Eric Dobson and produced in the 1970s or early 1980s by Mdina on the island of Malta. High-quality handcrafted unique piece without manufacturer markings.
Organic rectangular shape with a short neck that tapers towards the opening. Due to its form, these vases are also called 'Axe Head' vases. The vase features a very beautiful layer in turquoise tones, surrounded by horizontal bands in light beige shades. Encased in clear, colorless glass with an irregular texture. Beautiful play of colors and optical effects—especially under suitable lighting. A very decorative and impressive collectible piece!
Dimensions (H x W x D): 27 x 25 cm x 8.5 cm, 3938 g
Very well-maintained, undamaged condition. As with any older glass object that has been used, slight signs of age and use may be present. These mainly include moderate sliding marks on the base.
Please carefully examine the photos in the large view before making your purchase decision.
Note:
Due to internet restrictions on color display and your monitor settings, the colors of the product photos may differ from the original you receive.
The stands, lighting accessories, and measuring accessories shown in the photos are not part of the offer!
Seller's Story
I have been a passionate collector of high-quality glass objects for several years.
The focus of my collection is on glass objects from Germany, Czechia (Bohemia), Italy (Murano), and Scandinavia, designed and produced in the 20th century. Another emphasis is on Scottish paperweights.
Since 2019, I have been offering my surplus objects on Catawiki. Maybe there's something interesting for you too!
Should an issue with your order occur as an exception, please let me know before leaving a negative review. Fair people always find a fair solution! Wishing you good luck with your bidding.
