This print showcases a collection of Nailsea jugs and flasks, dating back to the late 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. The creator of these stunning glass pieces remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to their allure. Made from striped glass, these jugs epitomize the distinctive style known as Nailsea glass. The term "Nailsea glass" is often used broadly to describe any glass item in this particular style. These pieces were typically adorned with delicate white lines that were pulled or combed, creating a beautiful feathered effect. While Nailsea glassworks near Bristol lent its name to this unique style, it's important to note that not all Nailsea glass was produced there.
