Greeting Card (Square): Glass Melting in a Furnace: CARD-SQ-11
On this card you can see is one of the two gas fired glass furnaces at Cumbria Crystal melting the raw materials to make crystal. Each furnace can melts around 500kg of crystal per week at temperatures up to 1450 degrees centigrade.
Using filters to darken the photograph, it is possible to see ‘batch’, the name for the raw materials of glass, just after it has been added to the furnace to start melting, a process which takes two days from start to finish.
This card is left blank for your personal message and comes with an envelope.

I’ve had Cumbria Crystal for many years here in Australia! As they get used regularly,… unfortunately sometimes they get damaged… hence replacing them is necessary! Still the best Crystal in the world!

looking forward to hang this on the tree
Couldn't see what the defects were in any of the glasses. Absolutely stunning glasses. Will be back for more!
The bauble is so beautiful. I'm very happy with them - the look, the feel, the weight, the ribbon and the fact that they are handmade so near to me. They arrived very well packed and in good time too.
Beautiful, high-quality, hand-made product with a good weight to it, definitely not a flimsy machine made mass-produced Argos special.
Great place to visit and see how it's made, too.
I've had these a few weeks now having ordered on-line. I love the weight and feel of these glasses. The style and level of craftsmanship is superb and faultless, add into that the service and communication. I can't recommend Cumbria Crystal enough.
Added to our Grasmere crystal and as always delighted with the design, weight and style of our 2 new whisky glasses. Prompt delivery and good packaging. We'll be back as needed.
Just the weight of these glasses make you appreciate whatever they hold. The feel of the engravings and the sparkle in the cut crystal. They glasses are a joy to use and even to wash up. They make small casual moments something special.
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
