Technical Description 

A fine amethyst glass chalice by Phoenician glass. Original labels and engraved on the underside of the foot.

Phoenician Glass was founded in Malta in the mid 1980's by Leonard Sullivan, who was a designer from the well known Maltese glass factory Mdina Glass. As a result, many of the early Phoenician Glass designs were similar to designs by Michael Harris at Mdina. Phoenician Glass was named after the ancient Phoenician civilisation, which colonised Malta during the first millenium BC.
