This beautiful set of 2 Aran Mastercraft Tumblers are inspired by the wild rugged beauty and traditions of the Aran Islands. Expertly hand-crafted in brilliant crystal by Waterford’s Master Craftsmen at the House of Waterford, the tumbler is designed to enrich your favourite spirits and is decorated with a series of bold intersecting crystal cuts which encircle the glass. As the linear cuts crisscross each other, they form diamond shapes which reference traditional Aran knitwear and create patterns that symbolise a fishing net capturing wealth and success. The expertise and skills of Waterford’s highly trained Master Craftsmen are evident in this striking modern design. Just off the West Coast of Ireland lie the Aran Islands, the jewel of Galway Bay. These rugged islands are the home of the iconic Aran sweaters, where our Master Craftsmen take their inspiration for the Aran Mastercraft collection. Originally crafted for the island fishermen from local wool, these beautiful knits reflect the essence of the wild Irish spirit and landscapes. This crystal collection reimagines these traditional crafts of Ireland, mimicking the time-honoured skills of weaving and knitting in the beauty of crystal cutting.

For centuries the Irish have been supreme artists in glass. It is one of the great traditions in the realm of art, a tradition founded on patient and meticulous hand craftsmanship.The skill of Irish hands is only part of the story – there is also an uncanny power in those hands to impart something magical to glass. And in all of Ireland, no hands have been more patient, more meticulous, or more blessed with the elusive powers of art than the hands of Waterford crystal’s craftsmen. When the brothers George and William Penrose founded the Waterford Glass House in 1783, they made a bold promise – to make Waterford crystal in “as fine a quality as any in Europe in the most elegant style.”
It was no idle boast. They had in hand the old secrets of mingling minerals and glass to create Waterford crystal of beautiful and mysterious qualities. It sang sweetly at the tap of a finger. It felt soft and warm to the touch yet possessed strength and durability known only to Waterford crystal. And it radiated a distinctive, silvery white brilliance, which Waterford Crystal’s artists enhanced with deeply – cut ornamentation that gave the finished pieces a vivacious, traditional Waterford crystal sparkle.
This great tradition lay dormant for a hundred years. But when Irish independence rekindled a passion for Irish arts in the 1940s and 1950s, a group of businessmen resolved to bring back to life the industry that had made the city of Waterford famous. They recruited a small band of hand – picked artists, and under the guidance of these masters, young apprentices learned the intricacies of the art of crystal. In a few short years Waterford Crystal reclaimed its pride of place. Once more, it is the customary gift for royalty and heads of state. Patience, skill, and artistry had wrought a triumph at Waterford crystal.
