Bridgerton -As seen on TV
For those of a romantic disposition the arrival of the long-awaited third series of Bridgerton was the event they longed for and it landed on Netflix this last week. If you haven’t already binged your way through the first two series then we here James Pirie can sincerely recommend it, but mostly for selfish reasons as I will talk about shortly. The series is a rom-com and it follows two high society families as their daughters enter the marriage market in Regency-era London. It’s a bit like Jane Austen on acid. And it is amusing and occasionally quite daring! It’s by the Queen of the classy soap Shonda Rhimes, who also brought us the fabulous Grey’s Anatomy.

Now one of those magazine that covers celebrity weddings and is the opposite of Goodbye Magazine has been featuring the eleven best Bridgerton gifts and they include Bridgerton biscuits, Bridgerton scented candles, Bridgerton tee shirts and Bridgerton make-up. A plethora of Bridgerton.
But hang on, what it doesn’t include is the actual, yes the actual champagne and wine glasses that are used on the set of the hit TV series. Yes the glasses used on Bridgerton are from James Pirie. We were very, very excited when they told us about and so when compiling any list of great Bridgerton gifts I somehow feel that we should include ourselves on the list. They phoned us to say they had used our lovely glasses particularly the Nouveau Saucer Champagne Coupe Glasses by Royal Scot Crystal which capture the elegance of a bye gone age and I am fairly sure I saw some handmade , mouth blown Barley Twist Port and Sherry Glasses also by Royal Scot Crystal which are perfect for the period.
Saucer glasses, originally these were the only type of glass that champagne drinkers would contemplate, and then flute style glasses abounded. But the fashion is moving back to classic shapes and these exquisite glasses which are a modern twist on the antique saucer champagne coupe are bang up to date now!
And just now they are at half price offer, you get free delivery anywhere on the UK mainland and if you tick the box at check out you get some handsome free gift wrapping too.
