Webb Corbett Glass | Cut Glass Search

Webb Corbett became established in Amblecote in 1914. The firm had a factory in Tutbury, near Burton-on Trent, as well as in Stourbridge. In 1969 it became part of Royal Doulton, who changed the production method and modernised patterns. The Tutbury works closed in1980. The product was marketed as “Royal Doulton Crystal by Webb Corbett”. In 1986 it became “Webb Corbett by Royal Doulton Crystal”. In 1994 the product range was rationalised. Cutting was continued on imported blanks until closure in 2000. All Royal Doulton glass is now imported.
