Mdina Malta Glass Scrying Vase — Crystallomancy Art Glass, Signed

Mdina Glass is synonymous with the finest tradition of Maltese studio glass — hand-blown on the island since the 1960s and prized by collectors of mid-century art glass worldwide. This vase, produced in the 1970s–1980s, works in the Sommerso cased glass technique, encasing rich tortoiseshell earth tones — amber, brown, and chocolate — within a polished, optically clear outer layer, with a gold aurum tint adding luminous warmth throughout. Measuring 24cm in height, 15cm in length, and 11cm in width, the piece has the dense, weighty presence characteristic of Mdina's best work. A hand-etched "Mdina" signature on the base confirms authenticity and studio attribution. The bottle-form silhouette — simultaneously functional and sculptural — makes this an exceptional acquisition for the serious collector of European studio glass.
