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

A Dartington Water Carafe and matching Tumbler. The set is 24% lead crystal and designed by Frank Thrower in 1981. Simple stylish straight-edged Modernist design (no FT298).

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. High quality heavy lead crystal carafe with heavy solid glass base. Circa 1980s vintage. It looks to be identical to an older design, FT89 from 1969, which was affectionately named 'Bed and Up'.

Excellent example - hardly touched. No chips or anything. The tumbler has its original sticker. The carafe has a natural bubble within.

The 'square' tumbler is thin fragile glass and lighter weight. Straight edged simple glass is 7 x 7.5cm.

Carafe is 15.2cm tall x 7.2cm wide max. Holds 400ml - so about 3/4 pint, or two glasses full.

Includes P&P to the UK.
