William Yeoward

William Yeoward has become one of Britain's most highly regarded and successful interior designers since the company released its first range of crystal in 1995. The William Yeoward Crystal range is inspired by antique crystal pieces made in England and Ireland, mainly during the 18th and 19th centuries. Every William Yeoward piece is handmade in Britain by craftsmen skilled in traditional methods of hand cutting and engraving techniques.

William Yeoward offers a collection of the finest quality barware, stemware and decorative pieces, which perfectly combine a sense of contemporary glamour and tradition. William Yeoward Crystal is an invitation to living in style.

William Yeoward was established in 1995 when an alliance was formed between the noted interior designer William Yeoward, an avid collector of antique crystal, and Timothy Jenkins, the great grandson of John Jenkins who founded his eponymous crystal business in 1901. Timothy was already an expert in European crystal, and had been reproducing antique pieces for a number of years. The pair began to collaborate on a conteporary collection based on antique crystal originals, using shapes and decorations which had not been in production for over 150 years. The rare and beautiful pieces they created have proved immensely successful since their inception, and have firmly established William Yeoward as probably the finest producer of crystal at work in Britain today.

It is extremely difficult to find truly beautiful contemporary crystal that combines the best elements of traditional methods with modern requirements. Copper engavings, square feet, hollow stems and ornate designs characterise all that is best and unusual about William Yeoward Crystal's pieces. Each one echoes the elegance and style of the best of the 18th and 19th century designers, while achieving a contemporary look and practical functionality. William Yeoward Crystal is the choice of brides and hostesses worldwide, as well as all those interested in truly fine crystal. The company has won a host of prestigious awards in recent times, and is both admired by fellow designers and highly sought-after by collectors.
