Is there a type of glass called Mdina?
[BM] It’s called Mdina Glass, a traditional form of glass blowing, which is still done in the Ta’ Qali crafts village (not Mdina!). [WLC] There are actually two glassware outfits at Ta’ Qali Crafts village. One is called Mdina Glass. I can’t remember the name of the other one. [ Does anyone know the name? Please post to the group if you know ] There is also a glassware outfit in Gozo now called Gozo Glass, which is quite different from the other two. They tend to make products which include 24K gold dust/leaf embedded in the glass and they have some very fine and unique pieces. There are three glass businesses now at Ta’ Qali, Mdina Glass, Mtarfa Glassblowers and Phoenician Glassblowers.
