Bristol Blue Glass: Medium Lilly Vase

Glass has been hand blown in Bristol since the 17th century and since the first foundry was established the city has grown to become a centre of excellence for coloured glass. It was Bristol glassmakers who first added cobalt oxide to lead glass to produce a vibrant blue glass which is famous throughout the world today and known as ‘Bristol Blue Glass’.

Each piece is freely hand blown and fashioned to produce the finest most distinctive and original glass and it is this attention to detail that has made it highly collectable for over 200 years. Each piece is unique and comes hand engraved with the recognised trademark signature ‘Bristol’.

How can one resist lilies - the fragrant long lasting flowers of the gods, I'm a suckker for them. This vase complements these wonderful flowers - the contrast between the blue and the green and white/pink of the flowers works so well.

If you or someone you know is a fan of lilies this is the vase for them!
