AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

MASTERPIECE OF LIGHT: Rare Mdina Glass "Sea & Sand" Vase from the 1970s – Signed, Unique, and Spectacular!

Enter the world of elite collecting with this extraordinary hand-blown glass solifleur vase, entirely handmade by the famous Mdina Glass manufactory (Malta) during the golden era of interior design, under the influence of the legendary Michael Harris.

Not just a decorative accessory, but a true sculpture of light that captures the very essence of the Mediterranean.

THE DESIGN: "SEA AND SAND" (A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE)

Every detail of this piece tells a story of artisanal mastery. The series "Sea and Sand" (also known as Blue Summer) blends a deep hypnotic turquoise blue with filaments and streaks in gold and sand tones. When light passes through the glass, the vase seems to come alive, recreating the sun’s reflections on the crystal-clear waters of the Maltese shores.

DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE:
Authenticity Guaranteed: The vase is regularly signed on the glossy base with a diamond-point engraving, a fundamental detail that attests to its originality and increases its value over time.

One World Exclusive: As a mouth-blown and hand-worked glass piece, the arrangement of minerals and shades is unrepeatable. You will own the only existing exemplar with this exact pattern.

Excellent Condition: Glossy glass, intact and meticulously cared for.
No structural defects.

Era: Full Vintage (1970s / 1980s), the period most sought after and valued by international art dealers.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Manufacturing: Mdina Glass (Malta)
Technique: Hand-blown artistic glass with mineral inclusions
Signature: Present and legible on the base
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Retro / Art Glass
I guarantee professional and extra-secure packaging (double cardboard and ample bubble wrap) to preserve the glass integrity during transport. Tracked shipping throughout Italy.
