Bottles and other glass

  • Bombay Sapphire gin

    The favourite

  • Hendricks gin

    Black and beautiful. Perfect for cats.

  • Tanqueray gin or Gordon's gin

    Ideal for those Christmas trees

  • Plymouth Gin

    I love this pale beauty. My type of colour - far too rare!

  • Haig Whisky

    Dark blue. Very popular, I can never get hold of enough of them

  • Harveys Sherry

    dark, dark, dark

The bottles shown above are the most useful for fusing in my experience, they behave well and deliver good colour. Scroll through them to see them all.

Unfortunately, not all coloured bottles are suited. Some of them are only coated and the coating with burn off in the kiln. As a rule of thumb, anything yellow, orange, pink, red or purple will be coated.

Sadly, none of the Whitney Neill bottles will work (I know, what a shame, that would have opened a great colour palette…), neither will Mermaid gin.

If in doubt, you can use a key and scratch the side of the bottle. This is usually enough to scratch a coating.

If you could help collect bottles for me, it would be fantastic. I can pick up bottles in and around the Wokingham / Maidenhead / Bracknell area. Please get in touch.
