The 12-Piece Collection Breakdown 1. 2x Old Hall (Robert Welch Era) – The Collector's Choice These are the "jewels" of the set. Old Hall was the premier British manufacturer of high-end stainless steel, and their collaboration with designer Robert Welch defined the British modernist table. The Engraving: Having initials engraved was a common practice for high-quality gifts in the mid-century, adding a layer of personal history and "provenance" to the pieces. The "e" Detail: If the hallmark says "Olde Hall" , they were made before 1959; "Old Hall" signifies a date between 1959 and 1984. 2. 4x Trentway 18/8 – "Empire Made" Precision Trentway was a renowned manufacturer that produced high-quality 18/8 stainless steel (meaning 18% chromium and 8% nickel for superior lustre and rust resistance). Origin: These were crafted in Hong Kong in the 1960s, often exclusively for high-end retailers like Boots under the "Empire Made" label. Design: They are celebrated for their "sleek, minimalist aesthetic" and are highly sought after by collectors of 1960s kitchenalia. 3. 6x Geometric Cone Shaped – "Space Age" Style These six rings add a "geometric" flair to the set. Cone and asymmetric shapes were popular in Art Deco revival and 1970s European MCM design. Style: Their bold, architectural shape pairs perfectly with the more subtle "cuff" designs of the other six rings, creating a sophisticated "mixed but matched" look for a large dinner table.
All Good. As described, Great Value, Postage was reasonable but one thing I would mention, although it was well packed. These cheaper delivery services like Evri etc have a habit of leaving said Item on doorstep and in todays delivery it was left in the rain without a door knock. One thing I'd like to point out is it might be preferable to put the garment in a plastic bag before wrapping in brown paper. No fault of the vendor but if it wasn't going straight in the wash it could have ruined.
I was honestly nervous to place this order since it was shipping all the way from the UK to the US, but I am SO glad I did. My dream Pyrex set arrived safely, beautifully packaged, and exactly as described—if not better. Every piece was in perfect condition, with such care clearly put into packing and shipping. This set is everything I hoped for and more, and I couldn’t be happier. I would absolutely order again without hesitation. Thank you for making a longtime Pyrex dream come true! 💙
A+++++. Absolutely fantastic item, sold my a brilliant lady. Had issues with Evri failing to deliver twice. Was reposted through Royal Mail and received. Great communication from seller. Brilliant product. Exactly as described. Packaged immensely. Apart from Evri's failures this purchase was probably the best I've ever made in terms of communication, packaging,etc.
