Signed Mdina bowl

I picked this up on Friday and just been trying to fathom the signature. It's Mdina so guessing the top line says Mdina. Can't fathom the rest though. 85 maybe followed by the signature of one of their magicians perhaps?

 

Yup. Mdina in not-too-neat dremel.

This is a Mdina glass identification site, I can't find your siggy though:

But your label is there:

"Late 1980\'s - 1996. A virtually identical label in white plastic was used from 1996 onwards for factory seconds."

 

Ill have a look thanks

 

Well it is a plastic label. First letters 'fs'. Factory seconds? I was hoping for JS Joseph Said

 

It does appear to have an imperfection in the rim.

So it does.

Still a pretty Mdina bowl though.

 

It's a big fat chip unfortunately.

 

I was being tactful.
