KilkennyCrystalBowl | Kilkenny Crystal was Ireland's pioneer in handcrafting lead crystal glassware from a small studio workshop. Nowhere in Ireland is there a similar workshop of comparable expertise & variety of skills. In the late sixties Patrick Clancy, a native of Callan Co. Kilkenny, with his keen interest in crafts, started to look at crystal with a view to starting his own glass workshop. Kilkenny is the only crystal company in Ireland to have hand-polished its production & have experience in this area. Polishing completely by hand is so very slow that we were obliged to move to the chemical polishing process in 1977, but to this day we still incorporate the hand polishing process in our production. Today the crystal is still cut by hand, using the traditional methods, and to the same high standards set in the early years. Kilkenny Crystal is the oldest family-owned & run crystal workshop in Ireland. Click here for more Information |
