Light enters from every angle and exits as something close to fire — the Ashford pattern does what only fine crystal can.
The Ashford pattern from Galway Irish Crystal takes its inspiration from Ashford Castle, one of Ireland's most celebrated landmarks. The faceted diamond and crisscross cutting creates maximum light refraction, and both pieces ring with a clear crystal tone when tapped. This three-piece set — creamer, sugar bowl, and lid — is compact and refined, sized for an intimate breakfast table rather than a formal dinner. Galway has been crafting crystal in County Galway, Ireland since 1967; the Ashford dates to 1978 and is listed as discontinued.
Beautiful on a tea tray, a breakfast table set for two, or a bar cart as a decanter companion. A thoughtful, lasting gift for the Anglophile, the Ireland admirer, or anyone who appreciates crystal that earns its place on the table every single morning.
