Dartington Water Carafe & Tumbler FT298, boxed. Frank Thrower handmade lead crystal glass 1980s vintage/retro. Made in England bedside drink

An excellent Dartington Water Carafe and matching Tumbler. The set is 24% lead crystal and designed by Frank Thrower in 1981. Simple stylish straight-edged design, the tumbler glass sits on top of the carafe to both form a seal and to protect the water before consumption - perfect for a night time bedside table or for an office/boardroom, designed for one person. Handmade in Dartington, England. Circa 1990 vintage, the sandblasted base logo dates it from very early 1990s. It looks to be identical to an older design, FT89 from 1969, which was affectionately named 'Bed and Up'.

Original box - in good condition considering the age. Great retro 1980s artwork/photo with the 1987 to early 1990s inner logo/print. Comes with an original leaflet too, suggesting it was not taken out of the box very often...

Excellent collectable boxed example - hardly touched. No chips or anything. High quality heavy lead crystal carafe with solid glass base. The tumbler is thin fragile glass and lighter weight. Straight edged simple glass is 7 x 7.5cm. Carafe is 15cm tall x 7.2cm wide max. Holds 400ml - so about 3/4 pint, or two glasses full.

Perfect for a collector.
