Here we have a most attractive and highly desirable item of hand blown and hand cut Cumbria Crystal in the very pleasing Langdale pattern, now discontinued. This wine decanter holds 750ml and has a bulbous shaped bowl and a long facet cut stem. The stopper is round with deep cuts radiating out from the centre.
The decanter stands approx 33cm high including the stopper and is approx 14 cm wide. The star cut base has a diameter of 8cm. The Langdale pattern features diamonds, crosses and fan cuts with long panel cuts to the neck. It is a high quality item and a very good weight at 1800g.
Cumbria Crystal, based near the English Lake District is a high end maker of hand blown and cut lead crystal. It only sells in prestigious outlets and lists Royalty among its clientele.
Cumbria Crystal glassware was used in the dinner table scenes of the hugely popular TV series, Downton Abbey. Meanwhile, Daniel Craig as James Bond in the blockbuster film, Casino Royale, drank from a Grasmere pattern whisky tumbler, further enhancing the kudos of the brand.This is a beautiful item to add to any collection and very attractive for display and use. It is in excellent, used condition. The stopper is a good, tight fit as you would expect with a quality decanter.
