Here's another stunner from the Mdina Glass vault. This early 1970s Maltese art glass vase brings that same handcrafted magic, but with a different vibe - crisp white glass with bold orange confetti splashes that look like autumn leaves frozen in time.
Mdina Glass was founded in Malta in 1968, and pieces from their early years like this one are increasingly collectible. That signature confetti technique - where colored glass fragments are rolled into molten glass - creates patterns that are completely unique. This isn't factory-made decor. This is art you can hold.
What makes this vase special:
- Authentic Mdina Glass from the early 1970s - from the company's formative years
- White glass with vibrant orange confetti - a striking, bold color combination
- Classic squat vase shape with wide flared rim - that iconic 1970s silhouette
- Size: 8 x 9 cm - compact but substantial
- Weight: 492 grams - solid, heavy art glass with serious presence
- Hand-blown - you can see the organic irregularities and swirls that prove this was made by hand
- Unique pattern - no two Mdina pieces are exactly alike
Why this piece stands out:
That orange-on-white color scheme is bold and graphic - it catches the eye immediately. The confetti is concentrated at the bottom, creating a gradient effect that's both intentional and organic. The thick, chunky glass has weight and presence, and that wide opening makes it incredibly versatile.
Condition:
This vase is in excellent vintage condition. The glass is clear and vibrant, the orange confetti is bright and unfaded, and there are no chips or cracks. Just 50+ years of character and that beautiful handcrafted quality that only authentic Mdina Glass has.
How to use it:
Perfect for a single dramatic stem, a small bouquet, or leave it empty as a sculptural object. The orange confetti makes this piece pop on any surface - shelf, mantel, bedside table, or bathroom counter. It works anywhere you want a hit of retro color and serious vintage cred.
Perfect for: Mdina Glass collectors, retro enthusiasts, people who appreciate handcrafted art glass, anyone creating a vintage-inspired space with bold color, or that friend whose aesthetic is "1970s but make it chic."
Fun fact: Each Mdina Glass piece is unique because the confetti technique creates random, unrepeatable patterns. You're not just buying a vase - you're buying the only one exactly like this in the world.
