VINTAGE BRISTOL WHITE VASE VICTORIAN ERA HAND PAINTED AND BLOWN GLASS EN…

Very nice! As with other Victorian antiques, we can only speculate as to the origins of this glass. What we do know is that genuine Bristol-a richly colored glass of clear, dark blue, dark green, or amethyst, often touched with gilt-was made in and around the port of Bristol in southern England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Today, many of these designs have been worn or washed away. But many still remain. And what is remarkable, considering that this is undocumented glass, is that Bristol shapes and colors have never gone out of style.
