Cumbria Crystal was founded in 1976 by Lord and Lady Cavendish and a small group of local business people to produce exceptional, handmade full lead crystal tableware. The artisan workforce was initially recruited from Stourbridge, historically the heart of the English crystal industry, and a team of craftspeople relocated to Ulverston at the southern edge of the English Lake District. The company has remained small and true to its artisan roots. Today, the company produces crystal for all the British Embassies and Residencies across the world. Cumbria Crystal supplied the majority of the crystal for the TV drama Downton Abbey, with the Grasmere pattern designed by Lady Cavendish. Its collections sell in renowned London retailers Linley, Harrods, Thomas Goode, and Fortnum and Mason. The company designs and manufactures bespoke collections for luxury retailers such as Thomas Goode, David Linley, Hamilton & Inches, Glyndebourne, John Walker and Sons, and others. Cumbria Crystal collections are frequently favoured by royalty, and commemorative gifts for significant Royal occasions have been produced.
