NEW at Bristol Blue Glass
Introducing a brand new design by James Adlington. A designer range of glasses, bleeding from
clear to blue. One of the issues I've always had with our blue glass range
is drinking wine out of blue glasses. These glasses have beautiful crystal bowls and the
stem goes from crystal to Bristol Blue - designed for the bon viveur and connoisseur of great wines.
We have yet to name this range, any ideas please come forward. If your name is adopted then
you will receive a free gift from Bristol Blue Glass. James Adlington.
Carafe £50,
wine glass £30.

The Bristol "Penny"
As we are all coming to realise, the ready circulation of money is one of the essentials of commercial
life. Throughout history there have been problems with the value of coinage in circulation, due mainly to
the value of the metals used in minting the coins. Today we have a similar problem as the cost of copper
is of a higher value than the coins it represents, therefore a pennith of copper weighs less than a
penny - this has caused the mint to debase the metallic constitution of the coins in circulation. To
counteract this problem in the past, many private companies issued Tokens in the form of coins: these
coins were redeemable at the companies' offices and outlets who chose to recognise the coins. This
process was encouraged by the government of the time to assist the fluidity of commerce.
Today, Bristol Blue Glass Ltd is issuing its own token coin priced @ £20.00, in a collector's box.
This coin is redeemable for the same value, 20 British Pounds, at Bristol Blue Glass
Ltd and selected Bristol Blue Glass outlets. This therefore is just about the cheapest purchase possible,
retaining its value in times of terrible uncertainty. Not only that, it is a beautiful
piece of glassware perfect for your collection. Purchase yours
here.
