Tyrone Crystal was started in 1971 by Father Eustace, a local priest, who wanted to provide employment for the community.
It marked the revival of a glass industry which had originally been started by a small group of Bristol artisans in 1771.
Thus began the rise of the great Irish glass houses and a traditional craft which still thrives to this day.
Crystal has a beauty born of the strength and dedication of its craftsman. Temperatures in the furnaces reach 1400 Celsius so that the molten crystal can be prepared for blowing in an area known simply as The Glasshouse.
In an age where increasingly machines are used for glass cutting, Tyrone is still hand made.
The result is a range of the highest quality, handmade, hand-cut and polished crystal-ware from Ireland.
Crystal Clear Glass Engravers are proud to continue this dedication to quality as we seek to enhance each individual piece with an engraving.
By so doing we can ensure that the gift of personalised Tyrone Crystal will be treasured for a lifetime & beyond.
Memories captured in crystal.
