Hi all,
Didn't intend listing these, as was quite happy to gleam info from the auction sale cat from where they were bought-but don't want to mislead anyone claiming they are something they might not be, (see the liquer glasses post)
Sale cat states- "a late victorian "Bristol " blue glass spirit decanter and stopper and six tot glasses"
I understand the word "Bristol blue" has been overtly overused. I would prefer to list as "colbalt blue". Would the decoration have been silver overlay. I have seen a few of these on Ebay recently, and the end sale figure varies greatly. Were these fairly common in their day, or tourist pieces on the grand tour- all seem to have a venice inspired theme?
All comments and info always welcome, thanks Sharron
