It was set up in 1897.     \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have a few different sizes of glasses in this very rare pattern in my shop. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have arranged them into sets of six glasses and then into some spares. I haven't as yet been able to locate other pieces or the pattern name - but I have narrowed the maker and date down to them all being produced by Webb Corbett between 1930 - 1947. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe attribution to Webb - is made from a couple of whisky tumblers that were acquired by me at the same time and have an identical pattern - the tumblers have this engraved mark on the base.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWebb Corbett\u003cbr\u003etrademark, c.1930-1947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Webb Corbett trademark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glassencyclopedia.com\/Webbcorbett.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e As you can see from my photographs - the pattern is very intricate, a highly crafted one, and certainly very beautiful. It is very Deco 30s in style - with faceted \"thumbprints\" and stars near the rim. A ring of parallel lines is engraved further down. Nearer to the foot are long vertical oval-shaped cut facets all around. The stem is short and faceted all around. The foot is plain by contract with no cutting of the crystal. I have taken lots of images so that you can assess this as yet \"anonymous\" pattern and see all the fine details in the cutting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis is a set of six wee sherry or large liqueur glasses. They are a flute \/ conical shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEach glass is 4 1\/2  inches in height - with a diameter across the rim of 2 5\/8 inches. The foot is 2 1\/4 inches. Each glass weighs an average of 160 grams. Being thick crystal - they have a good weight to them being all hand blown and then engraved. Each glass is in excellent condition, nice and clean with no damages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA good quality crystal glass - as they are nearly 100 years old - the price for these is certainly a fair one. I have them marked up at £10 for each glass - which is a bargain if you see just how beautiful and rare each one is! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis set of six vintage 30s crystal wine glasses is Code C   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePostage in the UK with Royal Mail Tracked post and this will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39638821797952,"sku":"22\/2\/2024 CODE C","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/webb-corbett-1930s-art-deco-set-of-six-smaller-sherry-cut-crystal-glasses-4-1-2-inches-vintage-909.webp?v=1788022208","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1930s-art-deco-pattern-six-sherry-crystal-glasses-webb-corbett","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
