Monday, September 6th, 2010

Everyone from Tipperary Crystal would like to congratulate the Tipperary Hurling Team on a fantastic win over Kilkenny in The All Ireland Final in Croke Park yesterday.

Tipperary battled the final out with Kilkenny, who had won the last 4 championships, in front of a huge crowd in Croke Park with the two teams putting on a spectacle worthy of any final.  Tipperary managed to keep their composure and won the game 4-17 to Kilkenny’s 1-18.

Tipperary will be arriving home today with the Liam McCarthy Trophy to celebrate with all the fans on what promises to be a memorable day. Well done boys, you have done all of us proud.

Graham Knuttel Signings

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Graham Knuttel will be launching his two new collections ‘Shady Lunch’  and ‘Hells Kitchen’ in Brown Thomas Dublin on Saturday 3rd July from 2-4pm and then in Brown Thomas Cork on Saturday 10th July from 2-4pm.

Each range consists of Cappuccino Cups, Espresso Cups, three different sized serving plates and a 35cm limited edition signing plate.

Graham describes each artwork as follows -

Hells Kitchen (pictured on the right) – It is mackerel season in Hell’s Kitchen. Tensions run high as the fish are prepared, and the customers wait in anticipation for the splendid feast.

Shady Lunch (pictured on the left) – The cafe is in Cadiz in Southern Spain. It is a hot afternoon but the shaded cafe front gives this couple a chance to resolve their differences.

Tipperary Crystal collaborate with Peter O’Brien

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Tipperary Crystal is delighted to announce that we have collaborated with leading Irish couture designer Peter O’Brien to design a fantastic new glassware range.

We are delighted to be associated with Peter O’Brien as he is recognised as Ireland’s foremost couturier, with a global reputation. Peter has worked as a designer with Christian Dior and Givenchy and as head of design with legendary Paris fashion house Rochas. He brings a further dimension to Tipperary Crystal’s highly successful strategy of ‘innovation through design

There are four collections in the Peter O’Brien glassware range, each named by Peter from his experience in haute couture – Plisse (pleated), Garreaux (check), Rayure (stripe) and Fil (thread). Each has a set of six wine glasses and a combination of vases, bowls and votives.

According to Peter O’Brien: “I wanted what I did for Tipperary Crystal to reflect or echo my design history, without being too literal. So, rather than thinking of frocks as a starting point, I was more inspired by techniques employed in The Couture. So what was functional has become decorative. I like that idea.”

This collection is now available throughout Ireland in many leading retailers.
