Glass Cloth made at Quarry Bank and available in our shop

Buy a glass cloth

The Georgians and Victorians had a product for everything – they wouldn’t have dreamed of using the same tea-towel to dry every pot in the house! Calico was highly recommended as the best cloth to give glassware a superb sparkle, and along came the glass cloth to do just that. The glass cloths are woven on the heritage looms in the mill from 100% cotton thread, and they make brilliant tea-towels too.
