Read our testimonials below to see what our customers say about Cork Irish Crystal

My fiancé and I recently went to Ireland and were looking for something special to remember our trip. We went to a few other places that sold crystal, but were blown away by the beauty of the pieces as soon as we walked into Cork Crystal. We picked out three stunning decanters and two goblets that arrived in perfect shape after being shipped to the US. The crystal is clear and the cuts are flawless. They were also some of the friendliest and helpful people we met on our trip! I highly recommend Cork Crystal and could not have been happier with our experience.                                        Nicole Battaglia, New Jersey, USA

 

For over 30 years we have been customers of Cork Crystal.   During our long relationship we have found them to be efficient, honest and extremely helpful. With Cork Crystal being still hand crafted in Cork it’s very important to us as we are the “County Cork” Association of New York.  Every year at our annual St. Patrick’s Banquet we present Cork Crystal to our honorees and it’s always so well received.  They truly appreciate that it’s made in Cork and cut and engraved by hand to complete perfection.

In these times of multi-national conglomerates it is heartening to see this crystal still being made in Cork by a family run business, father Tony and son George Duggan.  It has always been a pleasure to deal with them as they are there to help no matter what the request.  I am happy to recommend Cork Crystal to produce an excellent quality piece – large or small for any of your crystal needs.

I have always found the service and quality of products obtained from Cork Crystal to be excellent. Whenever I am involved in organising conferences in UCC, I always choose Cork Crystal products as gifts for the conference speakers. The staff at Cork crystal are always most helpful when choosing the gifts and designing the appropriate engraving. I cannot praise them highly enough for their super efficiency, helpfulness and good value for money.

We have been customers of Cork Crystal for nearly 30 years and during this time I have found them efficient, honest and helpful throughout this time. With Cork Crystal being still hand crafted in Cork is very important to us when choosing a supplier for our trophies. Fine handmade crystal is highly regarded among our competitors which come from home and abroad to compete in one of Irelands premier angling festivals. With Cork Crystals ever evolving designs we can choose from a very large range.

I surely would recommend Cork Crystal to anybody and yes indeed I have. I came across Cork Crystal on the Internet and contacted them about a certain style Champagne flute I required. They contacted me back promptly with photos and pricing costs. I have different makers of fine handmade crystal in my collection and wanted Irish full lead, mouth blown and hand cut pieces to add to that. With most crystal now, low lead inferior machine made that would rather put in my bin, I wanted completely hand made crystal and that is what I got.

Dear George
I am writing to you first to tell you how much we are enjoying the Cork Crystal whiskey tumblers we
ordered from you through your website. The cuts are sharp and clean and the crystal has a wonderful
feel when we are sipping a wee dram of good Irish whiskey.  It is a pleasant reminder of our
trip to Ireland last year and holds a favored place in our crystal collection.
I also want to say what a pleasure it was completing this transaction with you.  I realize that it was
a small order but the courtesy and efficiency you displayed in getting these tumblers over to us
here in Virginia was impressive. We look forward to stopping in to Cork Crystal on our next trip
to Ireland and meeting you in person, and to see the other pieces your cutters have crafted.
Please feel free to add this note to the testimonials section of your website if you wish.
                                                                                                                  All the best,

I have been continually impressed by Cork Crystal. The talent and craftsmanship in consistently producing a beautiful selection of crystal pieces, cut by hand and finished to perfection, is deserving of high praise. It is heartening to see all this crystal being made in Cork by a family run business. As well as the hundreds of popular pieces they produce, they also accept commissions when something special is required. Their dedicated master glass cutters have created a high quality piece of glass for the Cork Person of the Month awards and for the overall Cork Person of the Year winner…every year for 21 years. We have always enjoyed a very positive experience in all our dealings with this company. I’m happy to recommend Cork Crystal to produce an excellent quality piece – large or small
