Description
Grasmere is our most popular traditional pattern. It was designed by Lady Grania Cavendish, one of the original founders of the company in 1976, in classic Georgian style. You may recognise the collection used on set of the worldwide hit drama Downton Abbey. Its time consuming and complex design is achieved by using flute, mitre, diamond and thumbprint cuts and the design requires our whole team of cutters to produce it.
Crafting exclusively by hand inevitably means that a small proportion of our products do not pass the rigorous quality checks required to be assessed as Premium Quality. These are classified as ‘Slightly Imperfect’ or ‘Second Quality‘. ‘Slightly Imperfect’ products may have minor flaws such as small bubbles, stones, slight discolourisation or subtle variations in size or weight. Customers for whom compromise is not an option should consider the Premium Quality.

I am delighted with what is a fabulous product. Even though they were outlet glasses my untrained eye cannot spot the flaws and they are beautiful to look at and drink out of. However I couldn’t work out why the shipping (£18 for four glasses!) was so expensive until it arrived – four glasses in the most enormous box, totally full of unrecyclable polystyrene chippings. An environmental disgrace, is there no way that smaller boxes or paper packaging could be used?

Beth was a pleasure to work with and speak to. I had a set shipped to the U.S. They arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Absolutely gorgeous!

Supremely elegant and with weight which adds significance. I ordered the factory outlet glasses and they are simply fantastic and beautiful. I am committed to this brand and look forward to building my collection.

Exceptional standard, even for a factory second. The only criticism i have is the lack of branding on the box it came in. I’d like to see it not in a plain white box and in a standard of packaging befitting the product inside.

Absolutely delighted with my glasses although there is a small defect that I can detect on one of them but all in all very good quality & value for money. Will be buying more!

Absolutely fantastic glass. Factory outlet stock, but nothing my eye can detect distinguishes it as such. Obviously a testament to the quality control and high standards of the team. Will definitely be buying more.

I was lucky enough to live near the shop 22 years ago when I first bought my first glass from Cumbrian Crystal. I have just received my lastest delivery, a long awaited treat to myself of 6 glasses (hopefully the first of a few orders this year). Delivery was great, packaging enough to well protect the glass ware – suitable impressed. The glasses as always – superb. even as Factory outlet, they are second to none. (apart from the Premium). Its delight full to have truly handmade British glassware. A great glass to drink from just improves the sensation of a good drink. Cant wait to purchase more.
