Webb Corbett is one of the great names in English lead-crystal glass. It was set up in 1897.
These are harder to find shorter crystal glasses for serving wee drams of whisky in with plenty of ice - or on the rocks.
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 with a busy engraved decoration - 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.
Each tumbler is 3 5/8 inches in height and the width is 3 1/4 inches. glass is in excellent condition, nice and clean with no damages. This pattern is now discontinued and harder to find as it was only made for a short period between 1988 and 1990. They are engraved Webb Corbett on the base - this is very faint - but it is there!
Listing them at £10 each - so £40 for the wee set, as photographed.
