Father’s Day is upon us (18 June) and if you haven’t made plans yet, we’ve got you covered!

# Father’s Day Gift Ideas!
Altfield Gallery
This Father’s Day, Altfield Gallery is featuring a range of one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass for gentlemen from the Georgian period in England, dating from 1750 to the early 1800s. This is considered the highpoint of the glassmaker’s craft. The rare glassware remains in perfect condition to use and enjoy for the man in your life. As we know, wine tastes better when decanted and allowed to air a little, especially when it comes from a beautiful piece of glassware! There are also some other specially crafted pieces made specifically for whisky, gin, brandy and other spirits. And, for long-term storage, they can sit perfectly on a drinks tray.

Each piece is handcrafted from solid mahogany into a sculptural silhouette and finished by hand to preserve the wood’s natural character.
