Coloured Thursday - BRISTOL BLUE!

Now with BLUE being my colour, Doyle & Mollie thought this week would be a 'piece of cake' for me but not necessarily!
Having listed this vibrant BLUE shade by many different names, many times before, I was nearly driven to drink this week re Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry in it's iconic BRISTOL BLUE glass bottle...However it is a tad too sweet for my palette but the coloured glass I do of course love & collect.
Quoted from the BRISTOL BLUE Glass companies 's heritage page...
"Nobody is exactly sure when Bristol Blue Glass was first made but we do know that the dazzling combination of the fine cobalt oxide with the recently invented lead crystal in the late 1700's gave the most remarkable deep, rich blue – the like of which had never been seen before".
This is a favourite piece of mine & the ONLY wine glass that I process that I never ever use as it's one of a kind...
Vibrant BLUE glass doesn't only come from Bristol, Venetian Glass often features it too.
This is my special pendant, purchased on my very last visit to Rome with Little Buddy in 2000...By rights he should have bought/given me the piece as we always star gazed when together!

But, he didn't, so sentimental me couldn't resist spending all her Italian Lira, as the design of the Stars & quarter Moon had another significance re our relationship @ the time.

It's summed up by this time quote from the final scene in the classic 1942 Black & White movie 'Now Voyager' starring Bette Davis... "Don't let's ask for the moon, we have the stars".

Enough nostalgia, moving on to this ballerina in her tutu - she is Christmas Tree decoration of mine... And finally bears Woodstock & Master Bruge' wanted in on the act...
