More information on Bristol Blue Glass
Glass blowing has been synonymous with the city since the mid 17th century and you can watch it being done, just as it was many years ago, in this combined shop and factory. Bristol Blue (this name first arose in the 1760s when a local dealer decided to use a particular kind of cobalt oxide in the process), Bath Aqua and Exmoor Cranberry glass are created here - vases, jugs, goblets, plates and bowls. They aren't cheap - a small vase costs upward of £20 - but all are hand-crafted and very beautiful, making them ideal souvenirs. The pieces are also sold at Bristol Hand Made Glass in the city centre. Don't leave without visiting the studio, where you can watch the glass creations come to life - hand-blown by craftsmen using the same authentic techniques that were used three century's ago. A slice of living history and definitely worth a visit.
