Christmas 2023 Limited Edition Bauble Collection (50 pairs)- A pair of polished & opaque Battutto cut lead crystal baubles: GW-721-BAT2-X23
This is a limited edition collection of only 50 pairs of the finest hand-blown and hand-cut, clear 24% lead crystal Christmas decorations especially produced for 2023.
Every bauble is meticulously mouth blown by a team of three glass blowers, each with a minimum of 15 years' experience. They are then hand carved on a diamond lathe using the rarely seen Battuto technique. One bauble is highly acid polished to created a shiny aesthetic, contrasting with the other which is cut the same but is not polished as highly.
The purple ribbons have silver text reading "Cumbria Crystal Handcrafted 2023".
The Battuto technique was developed in France and Italy and uses a multi-faceted wheel engraving process intended to represent beaten, or planished, metal. The cuts are hand-cut to differing depths, using a diamond lathe and with overlapping irregularity, to create a faceted fish scale or hammered metal effect.
The process originated in the early 1900s, notably from the Daum glass works in Nancy, France. In Murano the process was a favourite of Carlo Scarpa at Venini & Co, as well as with contemporary Italian master glassblowers Lino Tagliapietra, and Davide Salvadore.
This cutting technique is ideal for our apprentice glass cutters, whose training is typically five years, as the free-form nature of the technique enables them to practice and refine their creative skills with a slightly more forgiving design.
This product is supplied in a branded Presentation Box.

Let customers speak for us
We have been fortunate enough to buy these amazing decanters to add to our collection of Cumbria Grasmere crystal. They are a delight to look at and make you feel exceptionally special to use.
My husband loves his new glass, bought on behalf of my daughters for Fathers Day. I chose the smaller of the tumblers as he prefers a slender glass for a dram of whiskey rather than a great big tumbler. He says it’s the nicest glass he’s ever had.
Quality items, swiftly delivered, arrived safely without any problems or damage
Awesome 2nd grade product. 2 of the smallest bubbles in an otherwise so impressive and high quality glass. Well worth it, no one will ever know.
Received my order here in the USA just a few short weeks after placing my order at the factory in England. Much sooner then expected. Due to the size of my order, 40 pieces of stemware and a punch bowl, there so a few problems with customs on entering in the USA. I'm hoping this will be a learning experience for the team at Cumbria Crystal and they can alert other people that place a large order of what will be required. The items arrived safely and where all well packed. I could not be happier with my order. This IS the premier crystal stemware as far as I'm concerned.

Absolutely beautiful - so much so that we have ordered the full range off decanter
Excellent quality. Really pleased with the service. Thank you
Nice and weighty with great cut decoration
Exceptionally lovely glasses with a weight which suggests gravitas whilst the cut glass exudes joy and celebration.
I bought 2 Grasmere whisky tumblers. The craftmanship is beautiful and a lovely weight. Altogether a thing of beauty.
Thank you Cumbria Crystal
A heavyweight for the first few drinks but then your mind says 'yes', this is how a whisky glass should be. I bought one from the outlet and to be truthfully honest I can only see 2 minute bubbles, it's 95% of a new glass.
Difficulty with delivery which was terrible but the tumbler is superb and my son loves it
Brilliant craftsmanship and much admired
