The Vintage List - Base Shaping process for their crystal glassware

The Vintage List
London, United Kingdom

Henry and Camilla started The Vintage List in 2015 out of a specific frustration. Hunting through English antique markets and salerooms, they kept finding beautiful 19th and early 20th century glassware and kept running into the same problems: it was fragile, it clouded, it couldn't go near a dishwasher, and once a piece broke it was gone. So they set out to reproduce those old designs as glass you could actually live with.

Every piece is mouth-blown into moulds and then hand-engraved on fast-turning wheels, the same slow, skilled process behind the antiques that inspired it, which is why no two glasses come out quite identical. The patterns are drawn from classic English designs: lens, star, oval, spear motifs cut into fine crystal. But the crystal itself is lead-free, dishwasher-safe and made to keep its sparkle, which means it sits as easily on an everyday table as a formal one.

That balance, antique looks, modern practicality, has taken their work well beyond a niche. The Vintage List is now stocked by Liberty of London, among others, and their engraved glass has become a quiet favourite for people who want their table to feel elevated without being precious about it.

We carry The Vintage List because it solves a real problem: the pleasure of vintage English crystal, in glasses you can pour a drink into on a Tuesday and put in the dishwasher afterwards.
