Mr.
O'Leary will be using a special
permanent etching tool to sign the
pieces. The signature and date are
usually inconspicuously placed on the
bottom of the piece, as to not deter
from the beauty of Waterford Crystal.
There is no charge for this special
service and there is no limit on how
many pieces can be purchased for
signing.
- Jim
O'Leary began his stellar career at
Waterford Crystal in 1960, as an
apprentice cutter. Reaching the
pinnacle of his career in 1989, he
was named Design Director, following
just five years in the Design
Department. He stands among the most
renowned crystal designers in the
world today. Every piece designed
for Waterford is approved by Mr.
O'Leary.
Jim
has traveled extensively demonstrating
and explaining the design ethos of
Waterford Crystal to the public. His
highly sought after repertoire of
limited and exclusive creations, have
delighted crystal collectors in the
United States as well as Europe and
Australia. Second only to Lismore,
Jim's Araglin collection continues to
be one of Waterford's most famous and
successful patterns. One of Jim's most
significant contributions remains the
Museum Collection. This series of
limited editions was designed in the
style of late 18th and 19th century
Waterford masterpieces, now housed in
the National Museum of
Ireland.
