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 re-located to Ulverston at the southern edge of the English Lake District.

The Company has remained small and true to its artisan roots. We believe it is important customers can watch crystal being made using historic techniques, so visitors are invited to watch our artisans at work.
