I was a bit confussed earlier, (not uncommon) cause I had read earlier about Bristol glass and how it was created in the 1700's by two guys searching for a way to make a blue glass. It was made using lots of cobalt mixed with the glass, mostly used as early medicine bottles. So I had to spend some more time poking around to clear my head. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes it was created as blue glass in the 1700's but this became known as Bristol Blue Glass. But a bit later Bristol England, was also the center for the enamelled Hand painted glass, which grew to great popularity espically in the victorian American market, that Bristol Glass was made in many countries in Contential Europe, espically in the bohemian area. For what I also understand that so much of it was made that it never took of in the collector world so values are cheap to modest. So we have Bristol Blue and just Bristol Glass the later being a style rather then a type.
