Truly Bristolian - A Must Visit Bristol Shop!
Bristol Blue Glass was founded in 1988 by James Adlington, with the help of glass maker Peter St Clair. The aim was to re-establish a tradition that had been lost for over 60 years, the art of glass-making.
Twenty-nine years on, Bristol Blue Glass still endeavour to keep the tradition alive. They develop their makers and their skills as they go, adding new products to our range following customer demand and the tendencies of our Makers.
