About the Rock of Cashel Collection: the collection is the true embodiment of Ireland’s heritage and iconic history. Designed by Martin Ryan its inspiration comes from an Irish landmark, the Rock of Cashel, a spectacular complex of medieval buildings set in the Golden Vale, one of the country’s most important historical treasures.
This includes the 12th Century Round Tower, Highcross and Romanesque Chapel, 13th century Gothic Cathedral, 15th Century Castle and Restored Hall of the Vicar’s Choral. The beautifully crafted crystal bowls and vases bring to life both the enduring strength and calming beauty of this landmark.
Embodying the superb hand-cutting and exceptional quality synonymous with Waterford these handmade pieces with their Gothic style cuts and scalloped shapes make Rock of Cashel one of the most intricate and outstanding collections ever to be produced.
Fiercely proud of their Irish heritage, the artisans at the House of Waterford Crystal maintain the tradition of hand-made crystal in a modern setting. The unbreakable bond between the brand’s history and the beauty of its Irish home is lovingly showcased in this superb collection.
About the Rock of Cashel: According to local legends, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century.
The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries
