Topic: Edinburgh Crystal ~ Pressed Glass

[Glen]

Can anyone tell me where I can find out about the pressed glass production of Edinburgh Crystal?

[Frank]

No. Woodward carefully avoids the subject and I have no references to it anywhere. They always liked to emphasise that they catered to a luxury market but there are hints in Woodward about other processes.

[Glen]

Thanks Frank. Much appreciated.

What exactly would you like to know and what period?

[Glen]

I'd like to know what items were press moulded, and what sort of quantities were made that way. Time period - post WW2  (ish).

[Frank]

In which period they were certainly outsourcing. I have a relatively modern pressed glass clock. Maybe Nigel can add something.

I will ask someone else too.

Agree - I have a decanter date circa 1980 with double stickers - one from Edinburgh Crystal the other from Lednicke Rovne in Slovenia.

Thanks again, Frank, Ivo and aa - and yes, my understanding is indeed that they were outsourcing then. But I would like to find out if there is anything documented regarding in house (in Edinburgh) pressed glass production.
