Ireland is home to some of the world's most impressive crystal design, among them Shannon Crystal. The craft of Irish crystal making is an art form that has been developed and modified over hundreds of years, going back as far as the Celts, who brought the first glass to Ireland in the form of beads for jewelry making. However it was the English glass maker, George Ravenscroft, along with the influence of French and Flemish craftsmen, who helped make crystal, including Shannon Crystal, into a valued commodity.
Shannon Crystal is one of several crystal design companies with Irish roots. Others include Waterford and Heritage Crystal
Although you can still purchase Shannon Crystal, it is now a department of Waterford Crystal. The Shannon Crystal plant is located in the Czech Republic.
Very small chip to one edge. Minor scratches on base from normal use.
