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. These glasses are available for a fraction of the normal full retail price. Savings range between 45% - 80%. The glasses are a by-product of our primary production and 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 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.
