Early 19th Century Bristol Blue Wine Rinsers

About the Item

A decorative pair of late Georgian hand-blown Bristol blue glass rinsers. England, circa 1820. Why we like them These rinsers capture the elegance and tradition of late Georgian craftsmanship, with a stunning deep cobalt hue that draws the eye and instantly enriches any table setting. The rich Bristol blue color, prized during the period, adds both sophistication and a vibrant dash of colour, which effortlessly blends into both classic and modern interiors. More than just decorative, these rinsers reflect an intriguing piece of dining history. In an era where wine service was a refined ritual, rinsers like these allowed guests to cleanse their glasses between different wines so each pour’s distinct flavors could blossom without lingering notes from a previous glass. The dual lips, a clever design choice, enabled guests to share a rinser or to rinse multiple glasses simultaneously, emphasizing the social and shared nature of fine dining at the time.
