Our Sculpting Department is a wonderful example of craft and precision. You’ll see craftspeople sculpt a model from clay to make a mould that will later become the latest Disney model, a beautiful figurine or one of the Collectibles from our Animal Kingdom collection.
As an alternative, we also have craftspeople that work from a solid block of crystal to create specially commissioned pieces that serve as trophies or presentation pieces for sporting and commemorative events. |
|
Examples of pieces made in this department include the Freedom of the City piece created for the world-famous band U2, the Harp presented to actress Maureen O’ Hara or the Hockenheim trophy won by Eddie Irvine driving for Jordan at the Formula One Grand Prix.

| Working from initial concept sketches our master sculptors create Clay models. From these models the crystal moulds are built to act as a template for many of our sculpture pieces. | |
 |
|
Diamond.. The brilliant Diamond cut uses a series of intricate criss-crossing lines to create the illusion of flashing diamonds in the crystal. Ring.. Cutting creates the delicate circles of light that are used to enhance the shape and design of the bowls. |
|
 |
|
Olive.. The soft lines of the Olive cut are carved out of the glass to create rounded oval shapes that add depth and dimension to a design. |
|
 |
|
Rosette.. The ornate Rosette cut combines three or more cuts together to create a delicate fan design to decorate bowls, glasses and vases. | |
