About The Outlet at Cumbria Crystal

Here you will find crystal, with small imperfections such as bubbles, weight variations and pin head sized pot stones. When available, these glasses are available for a fraction of the usual full retail price with savings between 35% & 80%. The glasses are not made to order.

The story

On the outskirts of the market town of Ulverston, you will find our small factory where furnaces roar, diamond wheels cut, and luxury crystal is checked, with the upmost precision, to ensure it meets the standard expected of our very best 24% crystal.

With each, individual, piece of crystal, our artisans aim to handcraft it to an exceptional level; and amazingly around 50% of the time, they do.

To reach the quality standards we expect for our regular collections, a team of 12 talented craftspeople must work together and beautifully choreograph their individual roles; raking, blowing, cutting, polishing and engraving. 

Despite not meeting our exacting premium quality standards, The Outlet crystal still showcases exceptional craftsmanship as well as timeless style & beauty.
