A fine pair of Peacock Blue wine glasses dating to c1810.
They have tapered ovoid bowls above solid plain stems, conical feet and snapped pontils.
Unlike the deep, intense cobalt blue commonly associated with Bristol glass, Peacock Blue has a distinctive turquoise or blue-green appearance, with the colour changing considerably according to the thickness of the glass and the light passing through it.
The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) disrupted European trade and the supply of various raw materials used in glassmaking, including cobalt-bearing minerals and it is thought that Peacock Blue was first developed as a substitute during this period.
