Royal Brierley Crystal

Royal Brierley is one of the oldest and most prestigious names in British crystal glassware, with a legacy dating back to 1776. Founded in the West Midlands as a family-run business by the Wood family, it became renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and innovative designs. Originally known as Stevens & Williams, the company adopted the Royal Brierley name in the 20th century after receiving a Royal Warrant from King George V—a mark of excellence it still holds today.

Royal Brierley glassware became synonymous with luxury, gracing the tables of royalty, aristocrats, and discerning collectors worldwide. Each piece is hand-crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations of master glassmakers. The brand's signature designs—characterized by intricate cuts and timeless elegance—have made it a symbol of refined British heritage.

Despite modern challenges, Royal Brierley remains a beacon of artisanal excellence, now produced by Dartington Crystal in Devon. It continues to blend historic artistry with contemporary appeal, offering pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Royal Brierley isn’t just glassware—it’s a living legacy of British craftsmanship.
