You may recognise these beautifully made lead crystal Helvellyn glasses by Cumbria Crystal as featured in British Dramas such as Downton Abbey & Poldark, as well as in James Bond blockbuster, Casino Royal! A favourite of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Helvellyn is used almost exclusively in British Embassies worldwide. We are able to source the entire Helvellyn collection online at David Shuttle.

It is a very time-consuming pattern which takes a whole team of cutters to craft each piece entirely by hand. Cumbria Crystal is committed to keeping traditional glassmaking skills alive in England, and by doing so do not produce overseas or use automated production methods.
