An attractive vintage Maltese-style art glass bottle ornament or paperweight, featuring vivid blue, turquoise and yellow-green organic decoration beneath a clear glass knop.
The rounded body contains sweeping vertical trails and flowing bands of colour, creating a striking underwater or jellyfish-like effect. The pattern changes around the piece and displays particularly well when illuminated.
This example is unsigned, so the maker cannot be confirmed, although its colours, form and construction are characteristic of Maltese studio glass.
