William Yeoward Crystal

Exquisite Sparkle, Designed in England

William Yeoward Crystal draws its inspiration from antique English and Irish crystal made during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, an era when craftsmanship and conviviality shaped the rituals of the table. Each piece is still handmade using time honored techniques preserved for more than 150 years, including intricate hand cutting and engraving. The result is crystal with remarkable brilliance and character, equally suited for celebration, ceremony, and everyday beauty.

History

Born from an admiration for luminous crystal of the 18th and 19th centuries, Timothy Jenkins and William Yeoward set out to preserve the beauty and artistry of these historic forms through a collection that honored the past and embraced modern life. Drawing inspiration from the graceful proportions of the Georgian period, they reimagined crystal through contemporary techniques.
