Tudor Crystal is one of the last producers of full 30% full lead crystal glassware still to make hand made, mouth blown and hand cut crystal products for the table and gift market in the UK. Being proud to say that the products are "STILL MADE IN STOURBRIDGE" means that each piece in the range  embrases years of tradition and craftmanship honed in the heart of the crystal area of the West Midlands.

The exciting thing is that Tudor Crystal is currently going through a rennaisance period and is in the process of developing new designs and glass concepts for table glass and new delicate patterns for some of its vases and bowls. The tradition, skills and dedication of our master craftsmen remains but soon, as well as new classic Stourbridge crystal, you will be able to buy more contemporary glassware from us.

All still totally made in Stourbridge.

Tudor Crystal is also developing a new web site to showcase the new range where you will be able buy products direct online through a new secure payment system.
