Beautiful vintage Mdina Maltese art glass ovoid barrel vase in the iconic "Tiger" (Sea and Sand) pattern.
Handmade in Malta, this stunning mid-century studio piece features a vibrant blend of turquoise, sea green, and deep ocean blue, beautifully accented by swirling yellow-gold trailing veins.
True to early artisan Maltese production, it is incredibly heavy and substantial for its size—showcasing the thick, high-quality clear glass casing used by the studio.
Very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or fleabites. Minor light shelf wear on the base consistent with age.
Clearly hand-etched "Mdina" on the polished pontil base.
Height: 16 cm (approx. 6.3 inches)
Weight: 1.06 kg (substantial, heavily weighted studio glass)
A perfect addition to any mid-century modern interior, art glass collection, or as a standout coastal accent piece.
