Our range of contemporary and classic crystal collections will grace all settings and gift requirements. We believe that crystal is as much about the memories it revives as it is the holding of them—the good memories, the events, the good times. The beauty of glass is in its use.

These pieces can be easily engraved with your details.Note: we can also provide custom and personalised designs in this material.

Motivated by a strong desire to “bring form to life”, one of our ceramic artists designs a unique collection of sculptures: simple and pure in form and full of life. The pieces are skilfully handmade and hand painted by specially trained staff, ensuring that no two pieces are ever alike. Over 40 different forms make up the complete range of birds, fish and now Quadrupeds, in a variety of glazes. Our Earthenware are the result of the collaboration of two ceramics artists, who studied ceramics together in the University of Ulster in Belfast. Together, they produce high quality, beautifully hand crafted ceramics, drawing much inspiration from contemporary living with emphasis on simplicity of form, line and decoration. These pieces are suitable for any gift requirements you might have and can be easily engraved with your details.Note: we can also provide custom and personalised designs in this material.

The history of Irish Pewter goes back at least 800 years. The early craftsmen produced the first domestic pewter utensils, consisting mainly of tankards, plates and candlesticks. Around the 12th. Century, pewter was only for the wealthy, where it was to be found on the tables of castle halls and in rich merchant's and churchmen's houses. Later the use of pewter spread into taverns and cottages. In the 18th and 19th centuries, with the introduction of pottery and glass, pewter use declined but it has seen a more recent revival. It's now fashionable to buy pewter for everyday use. Pewter is easy to store, never wears out and on special occasions it provides a splendid display. Pewter can also be readily engraved with an inscription by ourselves (enquire for costs) or any competent jeweller. About the only thing that has changed in pewter manufacture is the materials. Originally pewter was made from a composition of lead and tin. Today, the raw materials consist of 95% tin with the balance made up of copper and antimony. Our pewter products are guaranteed lead-free and are suitable for any gift requirements you might have.Note: we can also provide custom and personalised designs in this material.
