    A very cheerful Mdina oval 'Zoe'-series dish with random patches of colour and metallic foil (possibly gold leaf?). The base is engraved 'Mdina, ZOE' with a number that we think is '430' (see detail at right), and with its original label 'MDINA GLASS, MALTA' (left). We understand from the glassworks that this piece would have been produced in 2008

    A stylish Murano bottle or decanter, the pale pink body with overall sommerso gold leaf (detail at right). The shape goes back to the early 1950s, but we think this is probably a fairly recent piece. As always with Murano bottles, the stopper is a very loose fit in the neck
