Lot 179: Mdina Glass Michael Harris Random Trailed Bottle Vase

A single hand-blown art glass bottle vase attributed to Mdina Glass, Malta, circa 1960s, consistent with the Brutalist or Webbed style developed by Michael Harris. The vase features a bulbous body tapering to a tall, narrow neck. The internal glass is characterized by intense swirling colors of red, orange, amber, and white, achieved through complex layering. The exterior decoration consists of applied dark glass filaments, appearing dark teal and brown, which form a raised, intricate lattice or webbed pattern around the lower body. A square black and white sticker label bearing a stylized logo above the text “MURANO GLASS” is affixed to the shoulder, though market consensus and visual style strongly indicate Mdina production.
