Ravenhead dates back to a factory based at St Helens in North West England in 1842, an area renowned for its glass making. Primarily producing bottles, Ravenhead in the 1930s branched out into domestic tableware such as bowls, jugs, and drinking glasses.
In the 1970s, Ravenhead was in its heyday. It was the largest maker of table glass in the UK and was exporting to over 100 countries, producing 200 million glasses per year. During this time, leading designers created much-loved ranges such as White Fire range.
Thanks to Ravenhead’s first TV advertising campaign in 1972, its popularity grew and items such as the best-selling White Fire range were commonly requested as wedding gifts and remarkable sales followed.
