FAQs

Bristol blue glass is characterised by its deep, cobalt-blue colour, achieved through the addition of cobalt oxide to the glass batch during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These vessels were typically hand-blown from heavy lead glass with a wide, conical base to ensure stability on rolling ship tables, often paired with matching stoppers and metal spirit labels.

Authentic pieces often display pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, minor surface wear consistent with age, and distinctive weight and depth of colour typical of historical glass production.

Place the item on a serving tray, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce a rich splash of colour and historical texture to modern living spaces.

Clean antique glass gently using lukewarm water and mild dish soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature changes to protect the fragile material.
