| Name_of_museum | Royal Brierley Crystal Museum |
| Notes | The Museum is reported to have started in the 1950s or 60s as a small display adjacent to the company's showroom. In the 1970s the displays were expanded and relocated to Honeybourne House where the company's archives and pattern books were also housed and we date the start of the museum to this period. Stevens and Williams Limited were reconstituted as Royal Brierley Crystal Limited in 1985. Trading difficulties in the 1990s prompted the sale of the bulk of the Honeybourne Museum collection. The museum was closed in 1997 with the collection being liquidated to provide funds for an attempted recapitalisation of the business. This was sold at Sotheby's on 3 March 1998 and a small number of items were retained by the family. When the site was sold the remaining glass stocks including those museum pieces were sold to a private buyer who sold the stock off slowly at a temporary shop in Dudley. The museum pieces were on show in that shop for a few years or maybe longer. Finally the tradename of the company and the remaining museum pieces were sold to Dartington Crystal Ltd who are thought to still own them. |
