This extremely rare glass with a rib-moulded narrow bell-shaped bowl has an applied B-shaped scroll handle over a flattened knop and panel-moulded dome foot. (Tim Udell illustrates an identical glass in his article ‘Glasses for the Dessert’ Glass Circle Journal 5, 1986, which he describes as rare and knows of no other example.)

About Us
The Bristol Blue Glass Museum holds over 350 items of glass, showing the development of the manufacture of glass from ca. 1500 B.C. to the present day. It contains pieces of Egyptian, Roman, Viking, Anglo Saxon and Medieval glass, but the main interest of the collection lies in the examples of manufacture from all the principal English glass-works of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
