Description

A pair of 18th century Bristol Blue small decanters, one for Brandy and one for Hollands. The bottles are in good condition with some understandable wear to some to the gilding. The stoppers are not chipped or cracked, nor are the decanters. They measure 17cm high, so are small compared with the usual size of this type of decanter.

FAQs

Clean antique glass by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive materials or harsh chemicals to protect the delicate surface and any remaining gilding.

Display them grouped on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce historical depth, rich colour, and reflective texture into a room scheme.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, minor surface bubbles in the glass matrix, hand-wrought stoppers fitted specifically to each neck, and genuine wear to the gilding consistent with age.

These pieces were crafted using free-blown or mold-blown glass techniques, featuring cobalt oxide to achieve the deep blue colour and hand-applied gilt or enamelled lettering for identification.

Bristol blue glass is a distinct type of deep cobalt blue coloured glassware produced in Bristol, England, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, particularly celebrated for its rich hue and delicate gilt decoration.
