Established in the heart of England in 1827, Stuart Crystal epitomized timeless elegance and refined craftsmanship. Originally founded by Frederick Stuart, the brand swiftly garnered acclaim for its exquisite crystal creations, captivating aristocratic circles and connoisseurs alike. In the early twentieth century, the company became a purveyor of crystal to the British Royal family, receiving a Royal Warrant, further enhancing its prestige. The proprietary "Stuart Glass" formula developed in the 1930s enhanced the brilliance and strength of their crystal, setting it apart from other brands. Now no longer produced, their crystal creations are treasured pieces of British history.
For water, lemonade, iced tea, this brilliant pitcher will certainly dazzle and be a beloved addition to your collection.
