Original Bristol Blue Glass Small Brandy Balloon! | #41398256

(hand crafted and free blown in Bristol, England at Bristol Blue Glass Southwest, LTD and imported to the USA via Bristol Blue Glass, USA. Glass blower Steve Baker has over 25 years experience)

 

awesome thanks Tallcakes!, so the same maker i'm guessing. nice condition for such a travelled fellow

 

TallCakes makes me want to go out glass hunting-wild knowledge.You may even get me over my phobia of 'Breakables' !

 

Noish. I found a Bristol blue decanter a few weeks ago. Nice piece but seems no one is interested. It goes for fortunes brand new, but then its price decreases dramatically once it leaves the shop. I think the value is in the older pieces as they pump it out by the bucket load nowadays. I think the siggy on yours will be key in what it fetches. Did they divulge any more info in the shop and did you wear a suit when you went in?

Oh it's Steve Baker we have been informed.

 

Breakables are a doddle. If you break anything just run off like I do.

Very nice!

 

The 3 the Qing Dynasty vases were thought to be worth £100,000 in total.
PS-I'm thinkin' some of these dim but well-meaning curators might also think 'bout super-gluing them Vermeers to the wall ?

 

A nice looking thing..

 

What a day at the office…!

 

sorry buddy, seem to have missed all of that

(swearing) nice decanter

wanna part with it (emoji with dog panting with his tongue out)

they would sort of go together

be rude to keep them apart really
