Welcome to Plowden & Thompson Ltd



 This year, 2012, we will celebrate 400 years of glass making in Stourbridge.  The Bead Fair will be over 3 days but we will not be there; instead we will stay at the Dial.  There will be our Gallery (exhibits are limited to our customers and last year we had a wonderful selection which was well received and 75% purchased) special events, demonstrations, special offers, tours and a master class.

Details of 'Gallery 90 in 2012' are now in circulation - see the news page for full details.

Good ideas of ways to celebrate would be most welcome.  There are many people involved, some with a large input others who are the ideas gurus.  One suggestion is to get all the people who can make a bead to do so, and then have the longest, most colourful necklace we can create.

Another idea is to have an historic re-enactment group of glassmakers at Broadfield House Glass Museum.


Heritage Plaques - Find a worthy person and a place to put a plaque.

A replica Portland vase is being made.

A talk on the original Portland Vase will take place on the Wednesday prior to the August Bank Holiday 2012. 

We share 2012 with the Titanic Anniversary and our sister company Tudor Crystal has made crystal ware, as used on the ship, made for the film and for the new Julian Fellows TV series.  Contact 01384 392525 to buy crystal.

We have also made a Royal Goblet and Sugar Shaker to celebrate Her Majesty's Jubilee year - 01384 392525
