Crystalware hire for the film and TV industry

Cumbria Crystal is Britain’s last remaining manufacturer of luxury, handcrafted lead crystal barware and stemware.
Due to authentic manufacturing processes, we only place around 50% of our production time into our standard, full price collections. The remainder of the time produces our glassware, which we have made available for hire. This means we should be able to deliver most hired crystalware quickly, and at significantly reduced rates. 

 

The Darkest Hour | Focus Features, Perfect World Pictures and Working Title Films

 

Typical rates are as follows:

Week 1 (10%)

Week 2 (7.5%)

Week 3 (5%)

Week 4+ (2.5%)

Damages / losses - Full replacement value of goods + 100% hire fee

Purchases (first option to buy back goods)

P&P – Delivery TBC

 

Downton Abbey | Carnival Productions and WGBH

Standard quality products can be supplied if necessary, but we may need to make these especially for you (between 2-8 weeks depending on the product and demand). We can advise promptly if this is of interest to you.

 

The benefits of hiring glassware from Cumbria Crystal are: 

• We supply luxury crystal on competitive hire terms
• We can deliver more quickly & potentially in larger quantities
• The hire of bespoke, quality products is possible
• We have a broad range of products and styes available
• We offer a variety traditional and more contemporary styles
• You directly support two endangered British crafts and some of the last craftsmen and women in the country who have these skills; great PR and sustainability stories

• Damaged or lost goods cost you less.

The benefits to us when hiring out crystalware are:

• Helps support at least one apprentice at the company
• Supports British craftsmanship and two endangered heritage crafts
• Exposure of the brand to a wider audience.

 THE COLLECTION USED BY 90% OF THE INDUSTRY IS GRASMERE
