My fav colour is blue and I think this is stunning. I had heard of Bristol Blue glass from Bristol UK. They have the minerals around Bristol to make the colour blue.
Bristol Blue Glass Limited (trading as The Original Bristol Blue Glass) was started back in 1988 by James Adlington, with the help of glass maker Peter St Clair. The aim was to re-establish a glass making tradition back into Bristol that had been lost for over 60 years. At this time a lot of the traditional English glass making techniques were in severe danger of being lost forever. Through many a struggle, James managed to learn and pass on many of the old skills required to blow glass by hand, in the time-honoured fashion. We are really proud of what we have achieved over the passing years, making some of the finest Table Ware free blown in England for many years. Since starting as a Company, we have trained many Glassmakers. We are happy that our legacy has now spread word wide.
Bristol Blue is gorgeous.
What a great piece - nothing else is quite like Bristol blue.
