I recently purchased three beautiful items from Cumbria Crystal: the Helvellyn Lidded Preserve Jar, the Summer Tide Champagne Glass, and the Summer Waves Champagne Coupe. Each piece is truly exquisite, with the handcrafted quality that Cumbria Crystal is known for.
The Helvellyn Preserve Jar is perfect for adding elegance to any breakfast or tea setup, and it feels incredibly refined with its detailed design and solid craftsmanship. The Summer Tide Champagne Glasses are equally stunning, with a light, fresh design that really captures the essence of celebratory moments.
One thing that truly impressed me was the service I received when the Summer Waves Champagne Coupe was out of stock. Despite this, Cumbria Crystal went above and beyond, handcrafting my order just for me. I couldn't be happier with the level of care, attention, and quality they delivered. These pieces are more than just glassware—they’re true works of art and a joy to use. Highly recommended!
Our crystal coups are superb, beautifully crafted and a delight to use.
Great day out made easy to do catering for all abilities. Some great memories and the girls loved every minute of it.
Thank you
Excellent glass.
The weight of the glass gives it a feel of class.
Lovely crystal cut.
Throughly happy
What is there not to love about handmade English crystal. I have been using Cumbrian English crystal for over 40yrs. My first pieces were sherry glasses in Grasemere pattern. I then treated myself to Grasemere champagne flutes. This crystal is timeless and I love seeing it on programs like ‘Downton Abbey’ I have so much Cumbrian crystal and use it daily. Recently I bought the apprentice Christmas baubles and got carried away buying 24. He limited edition 2024 champagne and Martini glasses, well I have bought so many as gifts for friends. If you do decide to buy Cumbrian crystal remember you are buying a bit of English history. A special shout to Tom and Nick ( well everyone really) this team is a team and the passion they have for this beautiful crystal
Delighted to add these charming shot glasses to our Grasmere collection. As usual the feeling in the hand is luxurious and they come alive when filled with any liquid.
A beautiful glass delivered quickly and securely packaged.
Bought as a Christmas gift. So pleased with it.
Craftsmanship. Style. Weight. A gorgeous jug to accompany my husbands pre dinner whiskey.
Great glass with beautiful design
It’s another beautiful piece from the Grasmere collection from Cumbria Crystal.
Their crystalware truly are piece of art. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
This glass looks rather regal and my partner uses it for beer and larger. He says it tastes better drinking it from a decent glass.
If you are in doubt, buy it!
I purchased this tumbler for my husbands birthday and he loved it. Arrived in Australia well packaged and in good time. It's beautifully heavy and feels great in the hand. My husband enjoyed having a few drams from it for his celebration.
The whisky tumblers look and feel like top quality.
I highly recommend.
