50th Anniversary with Waterford
 
Jim O'Leary, Design Director and global spokesperson, will celebrate his 50th Anniversary at Waterford Crystal on October 10, 2010. The enchanting and gentlemanly Jim O’Leary is the driving force behind the design vision of Waterford Crystal. For 50 years – his apprenticeship began when he was just a lad of 15 – O’Leary has made us smile and marvel at his considerable talents.

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.

Have Your Waterford Signed By Jim O'Leary!
Mr. Jim O'Leary, one of the Waterford's most talented designers, will be on hand signing all Waterford purchases. This is a unique opportunity to turn your Waterford into a family heirloom for years to come.
Mr. O'Leary will be visiting us directly from Ireland, and with each piece Mr. O'Leary signs, Waterford will issue a special Certificate of Authenticity. With a special etching tool Mr. O'Leary will permanently sign his name and a year, 2010, on each piece.
You can order your pieces anytime prior to the event, and we will have them signed, gift wrapped and shipped anywhere in the continental U.S. free of charge.
The event is Friday, April 23, 2010.
