What colours are most common in Mdina Glass designs?

Mdina Glass is known for its rich colour combinations inspired by the surroundings of Malta. Common colours include deep blues, sandy browns, amber, green, and soft purples. These shades often reflect the sea, coastline, and warm stone buildings found across the island. One well-known style, “Sea and Sand,” blends blue and beige tones to resemble waves meeting the shore. Another popular palette includes earth tones mixed with white streaks, giving a marbled effect. Colour is added during the glassmaking process by layering different types of coloured glass. This creates depth and variation, especially when viewed under light. Some pieces include bubbles trapped within the glass, which add texture and visual interest. Over time, colour choices have shifted slightly, with modern pieces sometimes featuring brighter or more experimental tones. Despite this, traditional colour schemes remain the most recognisable and continue to attract collectors who prefer classic Mdina styles.
