This vintage set of 8 liquor glasses from the Stuart Crystal's Hardwicke Collection is a limited edition made in the United Kingdom in 1970s. The glasses feature a round shape with a diamond hand cut pattern, and are hand-blown from crystal material. A true collectible item for wine enthusiasts and vintage glassware lovers.

Stuart Crystal’s history starts in 1827 when an 11 year old orphan, Frederick Stuart, was sent to work at Redhouse Glassworks on the Crystal Mile in Stourbridge, England.
Despite his fate and environment, the little Stuart learned glassmaking traditions of generations before he, along with Richard Mills and Edward & Thomas Webb formed their own firm in 1853 called Mills, Webb & Stuart. Frederick was so influential that by the time he passed away aged 82, the business was entirely dominated by his sons and him.
Stuart Crystal has made remarkable creations and can be credited with the making of the Stuart Medallion Cameo glass in 1887 and the Beaconsfield pattern in 1907, which is still used today.

In 1995 the Waterford Wedgwood Company bought Stuart Crystal but sadly in 2001 Stuart was permanently closed. See less
