Lord Mayors wine glass Collection

Here at Bristol Blue Glass South West we have just completed the production side of a substantial order from the Lord Mayor of Bristol City. The glasses are of great significance to our company but this time they have not been requested to be made in our prestigious
Bristol Blue Glass, but our pure 24% lead crystal. We put our furnace melting cycle onto a specifically high quality program, enabling us to create the most beautifully bright crystal.

The final order consisted of
70 x Port Glasses (pictured below)

70 x White Wine Glasses

70 x Red Wine Glasses

70 x Champagne Flutes

70 x Juice Tumblers
We hope they are cherished and live for a long time at the Lord Mayors residence "The Mansion House"

The Mansion House offers Private Function Rooms for:
  • Lunches
  • Dinners
  • Seminars
  • Business meetings
  • Weddings
If you ever find your self at a function or a wedding at the Mansion House, look out for the lead crystal wine glasses exquisitely produced by us, in Bristol, at our workshop in Fishponds - Bristol Blue Glass SW.
