The craft of Irish crystal making is an art form that has been developed and modified over hundreds of years, going back as far as the Celts, who brought the first glass to Ireland in the form of beads for jewellery making. However it was the English glass maker, George Ravenscroft, along with the influence of French and Flemish craftsmen, who helped make crystal, including Shannon Crystal, into a valued commodity.
