LASTING IMPRESSIONS The glamorous St Pancras Grand Champagne Bar is Europe’s longest and is situated to allow a full appreciation of the magnificent architecture of this historic Victorian station. The Champagne list is impressive and the Sommeliers’ fine choice extends to the elegant Dartington crystal flutes. This stunning location is one of many hospitality venues where our specially formulated “performance crystal” collections are used and enjoyed. Selected for their elegant, classic look and enhanced durability, our hospitality crystal can of course be personalised with a crest or logo.
EXCLUSIVE LUXURY The Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch has been conceived with a single intention: to create an all purpose, all season luxury supercar for the discerning few. The vision was a quintessentially English take on opulence; the reality is the most luxurious Range Rover ever made. Dartington were therefore justly proud to supply the Holland & Holland crystal tumblers and flutes provided in each vehicle console.
WHEN ONLY THE BEST WILL DO If the ultimate status symbol is a yacht, then the ultimate style statement is a Sunseeker Yacht. Setting standards of refinement and luxury that have become the benchmarks in their class for others to follow, these imposing craft nonetheless continue the Sunseeker tradition of high performance and technical excellence. Dartington Crystal have enjoyed a continuous supplier relationship for the bespoke Sunseeker glassware used to equip these Performance Motoryachts.

Concept> Craft > Creation To fulfill the exacting and superior requirements of the world’s most renowned companies is testament to the unique hand–crafting skills that Dartington Crystal have nurtured and developed in England since 1967. The world’s leading luxury Scotch whisky brand, Royal Salute commissioned Dartington to hand-craft decanters for the brand’s most prestigious blend – Royal Salute, 62 Gun Salute. Each exquisite decanter is mouth-blown and hand-finished using the finest midnight blue crystal, then decorated with 24 carat gold and crowned with a cut crystal stopper. Royal Salute was first created as a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her coronation in 1953.
