Victorian Art Glass pieces are little works of art. The glass here is highlighted by motifs from the natural world. Flowers, leaves and insects were favored subjects for art of all types. Many of these pieces are BRISTOL GLASS. An elderly antiques dealer once defined Bristol as having an orange fire when held to the light. Today, many types of hand-blown Victorian glass are categorized as Bristol.
