This range might be obvious in its conception but trying to hand make a form that has the same tacticity (is that a word?) as a rock that has been smoothed for eons by the ocean can be a challenge. But it is too easy to say that the range was inspired by just one beach, Solva in Pembrokeshire sticks in my mind. Lee Bay, Kilve, Lillestock also inspired me. Beaches are amazing and have been a constant source of inspiration - maybe it's the sea air clearing the cobwebs out.... Like most of my pieces, these start with gathers of clear glass.

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.
