Hand Made Glass Bath |
| Taking its name from the City's Latin name (Aquae Sulis) 'Bath Aqua' is made by adding copper oxide to molten glass. This gives it the aquamarine colour reminiscent of the historic city's hot springs. The designs available in this finely crafted lead crystal range, take inspiration from ancient Roman glass vessels. Their delicate colouring and translucent quality reflect the healing properties of the famous Roman Spa Baths.
