Description

If you are looking for a really stunning; table centrepiece, a statement piece for a shelf or a just a very decorative piece of glassware, might we suggest you have a good look at this stunning piece of Elkington fantasy. The Bristol Blue bowl is a little under 18cm’s in diameter and 7cm’s deep so if you want to load it with; fruit, flower blooms, sugared almonds or other gastronomic temptations this will certainly meet the challenge. Overall, the rim is just short of 20cm high, standing on the engaging claw base, evocative of many fantastical Victorian interpretations of animals and birds being discovered throughout the world in the early to mid-19th century.

condition

Please be aware that this item is over 150 years old and therefore bears signs of its previous life. In this case the Bristol Blue is in good condition, has no chip or cracks but does have a few small bubbles, a slightly uneven rim (demonstrating it was hand blown and finished) and the inevitable light surface scratches. As for the claw base the only real evidence of the past are some retained accumulations of proprietary metal cleaners, deliberately left to reassure potential buyers that this is an authentic piece. The plate is in good condition and the makers marks to the base rim are clear and discernible. Should you have any other questions in respect of either the item or its condition, please contact us and we will be pleased to assist wherever possible.
