We are moving our Bristol Blue Glass factory to Bedminster or should I say we are in the process of moving all of our Bristol Blue Glass furnaces and equipment to Bedminster where we will trade Bristol Blue Glass from now on. In fact we are trading Bristol Blue Glass from Bedminster as of this news article, but the official opening day is the 10th of September where we will be seeing the Lord Mayor of Bristol city cutting the tape along with Sherrie Eugene and Dawn Primarolo.
its going to be a fun packed weekend starting off on Friday going on through to Saturday where there will be glass blowing demonstrations, competitions, quizzes, bouncy castles and a BBQ run by the Bristol Athletic club. Then on Sunday Dr Francis Burroughs will be giving hourly talks on the collection of antique glass now on show at our Bristol Blue Glass factory in Bedminster. Also if you have a piece of glass you would like Valued please bring it along and we can give you an accurate value on your Bristol Blue Glass or any other glass item you may have.
Come on down to see the Bristol Blue Glass being made and take a peek into the the vast history of Glass Making in Bristol.

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

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.
