Hamilton & Inches Raises a Glass to Its New Barware Collection

29 Jun 2022

Today, established fine jeweller, Hamilton & Inches, has announced the launch of its new, luxury Barware Collection in partnership with Cumbria Crystal.

The limited edition, hand-crafted collection showcases the immense skills of the expert craftspeople at Hamilton & Inches, who have carefully crafted every piece of the collections’ silver in the workshops above the Hamilton & Inches showroom in Edinburgh.

The collection has been delicately curated to tell a story through the design of each item in the range and adds a layer of luxury to each and every tipple. The collection also plays homage to the recently renovated 18th century showroom, highlighting the sleek, modern design showcased throughout the luxury building.

Whether drinks are served on the rocks, neat, shaken or stirred, the new carefully crafted collection includes a thistle cut Cocktail Shaker to a sterling silver Cocktail Stirrer, the new Barware Collection will make the perfect gift this year with the service available of engraving of up to three letters on the sterling silver Cocktail Stirrer. 

Cumbria Crystal is renowned for its high quality, hand-blown and cut crystal. Each piece from the new collection is made using only traditional glass making techniques, making each piece that extra special. The Cumbria Crystal craftspeople use their ancient craft to not only develop exquisite pieces of crystal, but work to preserve and develop the traditional glass-making skills that have been established over centuries.

Victoria Houghton, Hamilton & Inches CEO, said,

“At Hamilton & Inches, we’ve spent months expertly perfecting our new Barware Collection and we’re so excited to unveil it to the world. We are incredibly proud of the boundless range of talent on offer from the team of our expert craftspeople, and this collection could not be a better way to showcase their skills.

Providing a luxury experience for our clientele is always at the heart of everything we do, and the Barware Collection is no different. It’s the perfect accompaniment for at home cocktail connoisseurs and for those looking to add a little luxury to their drinks trolley.”  

Chris Blade, CEO at Cumbria Crystal, said,

“Cumbria Crystal's ongoing relationship with Hamilton & Inches has most recently extended to the evolution and launch of the exquisite Thistle collection. We are delighted to partner with the Hamilton & Inches team to produce what we believe will become a highly desirable design classic. The manufacture of this collection demands hand blown crystal of exceptional quality, which is hand-blown by a team with over 50 years experience, and then hand decorated by our three master glass cutters. Each item takes a minimum of 12 days to craft.

“It is fitting and exciting that the exceptionally talented craftsmen and women of both companies have the opportunity to collaborate to produce timeless collections of this quality."
