THOMAS WEBB (1829-1965):
Thomas Webb was an English glassmaker and the founder of Thomas Webb & Sons, makers of fine English glass and crystal. Webb entered the glass industry in 1829 when he became a partner in the Wordsley glassworks of Webb and Richardsons.
Thomas Webb & Sons moved in 1837 to Stourbridge, which was fast developing into a major centre for glassmaking in Britain. With the shift, Webb was able to access a rapid supply of raw materials and benefit from knowledgeable local labour.
The reputation of Thomas Webb & Sons as a manufacturer of fine glassware attracted interest internationally. Numerous worldwide shows featured the companys glasswork, which won many prizes and received praise for its remarkable craftsmanship.
Queen Victoria was impressed by Webbs exceptional glass creations, and in 1877 she conferred the renowned title of Glassmakers to the Queen on the business. This royal support improved Thomas Webb & Sons stature and further cemented its position as the top glass producer of the time.
Thomas Webb & Sons encountered difficulties during the early 20th-century economic downturns, just as many other glass producers did. As the market for fine glassware shrank, the business found it impossible to continue producing art glass at their usual rate.
Thomas Webb & Sons and Royal Brierley Crystal, a notable British glass manufacturer, united in 1965. Up until 1980, when the Waterford Wedgwood Group bought the United company, it produced glassware under the name Webb Corbett.
Even though the original Thomas Webb & Sons company is no longer in business, the history of its superb glassware is preserved by collectors, museums, and lovers of fine vintage glass. Thomas Webb Glass is highly coveted and is still much in demand at auctions and in private collections.
