SHAKSPEARE GLASS LTD

Our Carnival range of handmade glass Baubles, beautiful and simple. They look good anywhere where they'll catch the light. We make all our baubles completely by hand in our Langport workshop. Our Baubles are made by gathering hot glass onto the end of a blowing iron, covering that "gather" in coloured chips and powder. The glass is then reheated, shaped and blown to create a hollow sphere. This is then "knocked" off the iron and a small gather of clear glass is then added to the top of the piece - over the hole, stretched and bent over to form the hook.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SHAKSPEARE GLASS LTD, number 08319233. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
