Hemswell Crystal
£49.99
An ideal gift for a whisky lover, already gift boxed- you're welcome!
The glass your whisky deserves.
A good single malt spends years in the cask. It deserves better than a blunt supermarket tumbler. The Wicklow is a whisky glass made properly. The cut is our classic diamond and fan: rows of deep diamonds crowned with a fan burst at the rim. Each one is hand cut from lead-free European crystal, finished with a thin rim, and weighted to sit low and steady in your palm. Pour a measure and you notice the difference before you taste it. Cut, not moulded. No mould lines, no shortcuts.
◆
The Wicklow cut — diamond and fan
Rows of deep diamonds crowned with a burst of fans at the rim — our classic heirloom pattern, every facet cut and polished by hand. No mould lines, no pressed shortcuts.
◆
Lead-free European crystal
You get the clarity, the weight and the ring of traditional crystal, but without the lead. It is stronger too, and perfectly safe to use every day.
◆
A thin rim that matters
The rim is drawn deliberately thin, so the whisky meets your lip cleanly. Reviewers mention it more than anything else. It is what makes the sip.
◆
Built to stay put
A heavy base keeps the centre of gravity low, so the glass feels solid in the hand and settled on the table. There is real reassurance in the weight of it.
◆
310ml, room for a double and ice
Sized for a proper measure with a large cube or a splash of water. Never oversized, never mean. It stands around 9cm tall and 8cm across.
◆
Ready to give
It arrives in our emerald box, stamped in gold foil, with a satin lining cut to hold each glass. The box is the gift, so there is no wrapping to do.
Made for spirits
The shape sits in the palm, warms the glass and draws the nose in. Whisky, bourbon, Scotch and single malt are the obvious home for it. It works just as well for a brandy, a cognac or a dark rum, and it makes a fine Old Fashioned. Some glasses only come out for guests. This one earns a place on the everyday shelf too.

Why Hemswell Crystal
Hemswell Crystal started with a simple belief. A fine spirit deserves a fine glass to drink it from. We design in England, in the quiet of the Lincolnshire countryside, and we work with the glass masters of the Bohemian borderlands, where the craft goes back more than 130 years. That partnership brings together British restraint and European skill. The crystal is lead-free, so it keeps its brilliance and its ring. The rim is drawn thin where it counts. And the whole glass is made to be used, not shut away in a cabinet. No shortcuts, no compromises. Just the glass your drink deserves.
The gift that needs no wrapping. Every set arrives in our emerald box, stamped in gold foil, with a satin lining cut to hold each glass. Lift the lid and it is ready to give.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Glenrigg and the Wicklow?
They share the same lead-free European crystal, the same size and the same hand-cut diamond-and-fan style. The Wicklow is the fuller, more traditional cut; the Glenrigg pares it back with fewer diamonds at the base for a cleaner, more architectural look. They pour identically — choose on looks alone.
Are these glasses lead-free?
Yes. The Wicklow is made from lead-free European crystal. You get the clarity, weight and ring people associate with traditional crystal, but without the lead, and with a little more strength for everyday use.
How big are they, and will they take a double and ice?
Each glass holds 310ml, which is about 11oz, and stands roughly 9cm tall by 8cm across. There is comfortable room for a double with a large ice cube or a splash of water. Generous, but never oversized.
Can they go in the dishwasher?
Yes. They are dishwasher safe. We recommend handwashing in warm soapy water to keep the hand-cut crystal bright, but the dishwasher will not harm them.
Are they fragile, and how are they protected in transit?
The heavy base makes them feel solid in the hand. Each set travels in our rigid emerald box, with a satin lining that holds both glasses in place, and every set is covered by a 12 month guarantee.
Everyday glasses, or just for special occasions?
Both. They are tough enough for the everyday pour and smart enough for a celebration. This is a glass you will actually reach for, not one that stays behind cabinet glass.
What else can I drink from them?
Whisky, bourbon, Scotch and single malt are the natural fit. They also suit brandy, cognac, dark rum and classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Negroni.
Do they come in a gift box?
Yes. Every set arrives in our emerald presentation box, stamped in gold foil, with a satin lining. There is no need to wrap it. The box is the gift.
