Mdina freeform Sea and Sand art glass bowl dish. 1970s vintage, Michael Harris Malta. Teal blue & gold trailed organic ashtray. Retro signed

A freeform art glass Mdina bowl/dish (or large ashtray). The technique/design was down to Michael Harris in Malta in the late 1960s through the 1970s. This is probably early 1970s.

Mediterranean sea like - known as 'Sea and Sand'. The colouring is a vivid teal/turquoise blue with internal streaks and spots of gold, plus some external white/silver streaks and lots of bubbles. All cased in thick clear glass. Mouth blown/hand made with folds and undulations, different from every angle and unique. There's five subtle rim indents for a cigar (would have been a fancy ashtray back in the day). Flat signed base, showing the correct signs of its age/era.

Chunky: 15cm wide x 7.5cm high max. Just shy of 1kg. Very good displayable condition. Some signs of age but due to the complex busy design, you'll struggle to see any flaws. There's two tiny outer edge white impact marks and a few scratches.

An unusual addition for any Mdina collector and stunning against the sunlight.
