FAQs

Bristol green glass refers to the deep, rich green-coloured glass produced in Bristol, England, during the late 18th and 19th centuries, often utilised for apothecary jars and spirit decanters.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using lead or potash glass, then hand-gilded with gold leaf or enamelled paint to create decorative labels and motifs.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, wear consistent with age on the gilding, and minor bubbles or imperfections within the glass structure.

Such pieces can be displayed on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce rich colour, historical character, and tactile texture to a room.

Clean antique glass gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and ultrasonic cleaners to protect fragile gilding.
