In designing the Shannon Tankard for Cashs Ireland, Martin Croke invokes the memory of the craftsmen and the part they played in Waterford Ireland's history.
The Shannon pattern was inspired by Sionainn (anglicized - Shannon), the "wise river". The name Sionainn alludes to Sionna, a goddess in Irish mythology whose name means "possessor of wisdom". She is the namesake and matron of Sionainn, the River Shannon. Sionainn is the longest river in the Ireland and overall in British Isles.
