The Story Behind Harvey’s Bristol Cream (and Why You’ll Want This Vintage Bottle)

Few drinks conjure up the charm of a traditional British parlour quite like Harvey’s Bristol Cream. With its rich, velvety taste and regal blue bottle, it became a household name in the 70s and 80s — especially around Christmastime, when a sherry before lunch felt almost ceremonial.

But Harvey’s is more than just a drink. First blended in 1882 by John Harvey & Sons, this famous sherry quickly gained a reputation for luxury and sophistication. Its distinctive blue glass bottle — introduced in the mid-20th century — became iconic in drinks cabinets across Britain. Today, these vintage bottles are treasured not only for their association with warm memories but also for their striking decorative appeal.

At Objet d’Art Stuff, we’re offering an original vintage Harvey’s Bristol Cream bottle — complete with its rich cobalt glass and charming patina of age. Whether you're a collector of barware, a fan of mid-century design, or simply looking for a conversation-starting ornament, this piece will bring instant character to any space.
