<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 2782098, member: 7360&quot;]Hi, I actually live in Bristol, and have visited the current Bristol Blue Glass workshop, which I am sure you would love if you are a blue glass enthusiast!&nbsp; (The item came in a local auction lot, but the other egg cups were from all over Britain and Europe, with no other glass items.)&nbsp; The current workshop produces entirely hand blown glass objects with no streaks or moulded areas, or even hand cut areas.&nbsp; What they may have produced in the past, say Victorian times, I don&#039;t know, but will try to find out.&nbsp; Maybe a local Bristol factory experimented with this cobalt moulded glass, but the poor finish of this egg cup would have meant they certainly wouldn&#039;t have found a market here.&nbsp; I thought the Middle East, or maybe North Africa or India, because I think that there might be a tiny family workshop in some bazaar, trying out techniques, where something much cruder might emerge than would come from a British or European factory.&nbsp; I&#039;m speaking from almost complete ignorance, but researching and learning is what this is all about![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
