The Maltese Vase

We bought this pretty hand blown glass vase in Valetta, Malta a week ago. We saw a lot of glass making on our cruise because the ship hosts glass artisans from the Corning Museum. They actually have a glass blowing studio installed on the top deck of the ship. However, they do not sell glass on board. The display is for educational purposes. But in Valetta we stopped at a glass making factory where we purchased this vase.
