Webb Corbett, Ltd

Webb Corbett was founded in 1897 by George Corbett and Herbert Webb and Thomas Webb III (two grandsons of Thomas Webb.) The original name of the glass house was Thomas Webb and Corbett Limited. Although two Webb descendants were partners, there was no connection between this new firm and Thomas Webb & Sons.

In the 1930s, the company name was changed from Thomas Webb and Corbett Ltd to Webb Corbett Ltd. The company was absorbed by Royal Doulton in 1969 and in 1986 the Webb Corbett name was dropped altogether. The company continues in production today under the name Royal Doulton Crystal.

The primary Webb Corbett product has always been cut and engraved lead crystal, particularly stemware. Most pieces are marked by sandblasting or acid stamping. In the 1970s, Webb Corbett brought back a limited line of cameo glass called "air carved," another name for sandblasting. These pieces had a single layer of colored glass over a thick clear glass body.
