Things to do in Bristol, England: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Bristol is a quirky British city with beautiful hilly vistas and plenty of historic sights to explore. Anyone interested in ships will have a blast aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first great oceanliner, and the Matthew, a replica of the ship upon which John Cabot sailed to America in the 15th century. The graceful Clifton Suspension Bridge is another must-see.

1. Bristol Blue Glass

5.0 based on 8 reviews
The most prestigious glass shop in the heart of the historic centre of Bristol, a step away from St. Nicholas Market. Here you can see the entire range of glass made by Bristol Blue Glass Bedminster, the workshops being on the site of the Bedminster Glassworks, founded in 1716. The same exquisite traditional craftsmanship can be admired in all our glass. In addition to our own products, we also sell a small selected range of interesting antique and vintage glass for the discerning collector. We look forward to welcoming you to one of the most fascinating shops in Bristol.

After a great deal of research at home and abroad, I found the perfect item in Rag & Bone's on line shop. The highly detailed and accurate description made it easy for me to decide that I had found exactly what I was looking for. Even allowing for shipping to Australia, the price was very, very competitive. I was worried about damage during transportation, however, Mollie took all the pieces apart, wrapped them individually and then double boxed the lot. The parcel arrived safely with everything in tact. I am now busy polishing the brass and washing the crystal so that the piece can take pride of place in my home. I will definitely be watching out for more antiques that Rag and Bone offer for on line sale - almost as good as browsing in store. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the service offered.
