Antique Victorian Hand Painted Bristol Portrait Vase
$145.00
Magnificent & Magical antique Victorian Bristol Glass!
According to Martha …
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.
Some notes of value…
It is translucent and will look subtly foggy, yet dazzling, in a window. Quite often, it retains a pontil mark (the scar that’s left when glass is broken off a blowpipe) on the bottom.
Of the many truly vibrant Bristol colors, the sugary whites.
Luckily, it’s easy to tell if these white pieces are old because, when held to the light, the glass exhibits a distinctive, orange-red fire caused by the gold oxide in the mix.
Amongst many other attributes, antique Bristol is special.
This antique Bristol portrait vase is captivating with the desired colors, opaline fire, pontil, romantic cherubs, & light painted moriage flowers.
Ethereal background ombre of blues, white, and yellow.
In beautiful antique condition, minimal light fade.
