We have been lucky enough to get hold of a part-suite of exquisitely-cut glasses by Thomas Webb & Sons. There are three types of glass (shown much smaller than life-sized in the photo above): a port glass (left, about 12 cm tall), a wine glass (centre, about 13 cm tall), and a sherry glass (right, the same height as the port glass, but with a slightly narrower bowl).
The bowl of each glass has been cut with a band of six pillars (or reeds), alternating with six double 'Russian stars', contained within a pair of horizontal double-V cuts above and below.The stems are hexagonally-cut, and the feet are all marked with the acid-etched trademark used from c 1950 onward (illustrated below).
There are twenty-two glasses in all, which we have divided into the following four sets:

A small, but unusually heavy (and particularly nicely-marked, in our opinion) cylindrical Mdina vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles) of the sort that we always describe as 'decorated with abstract landscape' in the usual 'Mediterranean' palette of colurs. Vibro-pen engraved 'Mdina' to the base (just about visible in the very poor photo below!)
