Georgian Bristol blue glass sugar bowl

This is a Georgian, mouth-blown, Bristol Blue glass sugar bowl dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800. The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark to the foot. The bowl is of cup form in the Bristol blue colourway and measures 11 cm (4.4 inches) in diameter at the upper rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a plain stem, and a domed and folded foot which measures 8 cm (3.2 inches) in diameter. The bowl is 12.5 cm (5 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. It weighs 290 g. (~ 10 oz.). There are a couple of tiny inclusions and unburst bubbles in the metal of the bowl dating from manufacture, and a faint trace of gilding which has pretty much disappeared entirely if ever present.
