Crystal Engravers in Ireland Since 1968
The art of cutting fine crystal first began in Dublin in 1675, and in the year 1764 a Welsh family started a glass house that remained in production until 1827.
By the beginning of the nineteenth century the trade was flourishing, but the imposition of crippling taxes by the successive English governments caused the entire Irish glass industry to cease production.
Fortunately, the tradition was never allowed to completely die out. With the setting up of
Dublin Crystal Glass Co. (Ireland) Limited in 1968, Edward F. Taylor, father of the present managing director of the company, set about reviving the tradition in Dublin. The company has grown steadily in the 40+ years since its incorporation. It has gradually built a reputation for
quality crystal which is second to none in the country.
Rigorous quality control rejects any piece that in any way fails to meet the standards of excellence that is expected. While remaining faithful to the traditions of the trade, the company has believed in making every possible use of technological developments and in the continual updating of its manufacturing processes.
The company prides itself on its flexibility, personal service and quality.
