AN IRISH FAMILY BUSINESS

Experts in mouth-blown, hand-cut crystal
Kinsale crystal

Our Origin Story

Founded in 1992, former Waterford master-cutter Gerry Daly chose the historic port and fishing town of Kinsale, on Ireland’s southern coast in County Cork, as the home for his crystal workshop and showroom.
Inspired by its rich maritime heritage, he set out to revive the once-lost art
of deep cutting — a demanding craft that had largely disappeared.

Kinsale Crystal remains a proud family business. Today, Gerry’s legacy is carried forward by his son, Ronan, who trained alongside his father over 26 years ago and continues the same dedication to excellence and authenticity. Behind the scenes, Anna (Gerry’s wife and Ronan's mum) and Julie (Ronan’s wife) ensure the workshop and showroom run seamlessly with all three handling packing and shipping orders — truly making Kinsale Crystal
a family tradition in every sense.

Each piece is mouth-blown, hand-cut, crafted from 33% lead crystal, and 100% Irish made — offering exceptional clarity, weight, and brilliance. As every item is handmade, slight variations in size may occur, and you may be lucky enough to find a small bubble or tiny stone within the crystal. These natural characteristics are a sign of genuine craftsmanship and add to the individuality of each piece.

Personalised hand engraving (initials or dates) can be requested in the comment box when ordering. We are also happy to include a handwritten message on our complimentary gift card with your parcel.

We ship worldwide, sharing our Irish crystal craftsmanship with homes across the globe.
