Victorian enameled glass is blown and hand-painted dating to the mid 18th and 19th century. The decoration usually consisted of floral and nature scenes, with an occasional animal or portrait design. They are usually found in opaque colors including blue, clam-broth, green and pink. Many collectors and dealers refer to the glass as "Bristol Glass" though most pieces were produced in Bohemia or Belgium.
