Bristol Glass

Often described as "Moonlit Glass" because of its subtly foggy opaline glass that appears to absorb light rather than reflect it, most Bristol Glass was made during the Victorian era.

It's named for the region where it originated, Bristol, a southern port in England Often decorated with gold gilt, it is rare to find a piece signed or marked, but most retain their original pontil, the dimple on the base where the glass is broken off the blowpipe.
