About the Item

Hand blown blue and green glass vase in axe head shape, signed and dated 1980 on the underside. Michael Harris (1933-1994), was an English glassworker and a lecturer in industrial glass design at the Royal College of Art. He set up Mdina Glass on the island of Malta in 1968 with his wife Elizabeth. They left Malta in 1972 and founded their Isle of Wight Studio. In 1989 they started Gozo Glass on Gozo, an island near Malta. Harris was soon joined on the workshop floor by experienced glassmakers like father and son team Vicente and Ettore Boffo as well as local trainees. One such trainee to join a few months after Mdina Glass began was Joseph Said, who progressed rapidly, eventually became the company’s first Maltese production manager by 1975. Although Harris left Malta in 1972, to start his own studio, his partner Eric Dobson remained at the helm until 1985. During Dobson’s tenure the glass making personnel and range of products grew and the production facilities increased to meet production demands.
