RARE 1930s Art Deco Pattern Heavy SINGLE Large WHISKY TUMBLER Crystal Glass. WEBB CORBETT

Webb Corbett is one of the great names in English lead-crystal glass. It was set up in 1897.      

These are amazing glasses - great as gifts for a friend who likes a nice Scotch Whisky - or indeed for the general imbiber .. just team up with a bottle of their favorite tipple - and you are onto a winner. They are so substantial - I love them! 

The original company name was Thomas Webb and Corbett Limited, and it was always a completely separate operation from Thomas Webb and Sons which later became Webb's Crystal Glass Co. Ltd., another famous Stourbridge crystal glass company. Thomas Webb and Corbett Ltd changed their name to Webb Corbett Ltd in the 1930s. 

In 1969 the company was taken over by Royal Doulton Company, and in 1986 they stopped using the Webb Corbett name. Glass from the former Webb Corbett glassworks was then produced under the name Royal Doulton Crystal until this glassworks closed down. 

I have a few different sizes in this very rare pattern in my shop. I have arranged them into sets of six glasses and then into some spares. I haven't as yet been able to locate other pieces or the pattern name - but I have narrowed the maker and date down to them all being produced by Webb Corbett between 1930 and 1947  as a couple of the whisky tumblers have this engraved mark on the base.  

Webb Corbett
trademark, c.1930-1947

As you can see from my photographs - the pattern is very intricate, a highly crafted one, and certainly very beautiful. It is very Deco 30s in style - with faceted "thumbprints" and stars near the rim. A ring of parallel lines is engraved further down. Nearer to the foot are long vertical oval-shaped cut facets all around.

The foot of each tumbler has a large deep star cut on the base. The base is very heavy and made from thick chunky clear glass faceted crystal. It is crisply angled like an optical prism. I have taken lots of images so that you can assess this as yet "anonymous" pattern and see all the fine details in the cutting. 

Each tumbler is 4 inches in height - with a diameter across the rim of 3 1/4 inches. The foot is 2 1/2 inches. Each glass weighs an average of 400 grams. Being thick crystal - they have a good weight to them being all hand-blown and then engraved. Each glass is in excellent condition, nice and clean with no damages. 

Just so there is no confusion: the price quoted here is for a SINGLE GLASS. 

I have each tumbler listed at £20.00. These are very good quality crystal tumblers and they are nearly 100 years old - the price for these is certainly a fair one. You won't be disappointed with them. 

Each tumbler is Code E

Postage in the UK with Royal Mail Recorded post would cost £5.50 (capped for a pair) - and this would be applied to your order at the checkout. When more than two are being ordered and due to the weight - I would have to send them with Parcelforce - and the postage for that would be capped at £10.
