Additional Information : 

The Nailsea Glassworks were established in premises near to Bristol in 1788, by John Robert Lucas. Having stated that he wished to dispose of his former business - the provision of beers, cider and bottles - he determined to produce crown and bottle glass; his workforce, however, proved to be far more creative than being restricted to these utilitarian commodities, and also produced domestic and creative pieces, trinkets and trifles, collectively known as 'friggers' as a lucrative sideline.

The manufacture of these items was not, however, restricted to Lucas's company, and similarly-skilled workers at glasshouses from Stourbridge to Sunderland, to Alloa and Forfar in Scotland made other pieces of the same nature. The name 'Nailsea' has, however, become the generic term for such items, but does not infer their specific source in any way.

With this being a bottle it is more likely to be Nailsea made than other utilitarian pieces
