A striking vintage Shannon Crystal covered urn crafted in luminous 24% lead crystal, produced under the Designs of Ireland line and made in Slovakia — a region long associated with fine crystal cutting and glassmaking traditions. The piece combines classical urn-form elegance with late 20th-century decorative crystal styling: a flared bowl with deep faceted cutting, diamond-point banding, and a sculptural square pedestal base finished with a radiant starburst motif. The domed lid rises to a faceted flame finial, giving the piece an almost neoclassical silhouette.
Beautifully weighted and brilliantly light-reactive, the crystal throws subtle prism reflections across its cut surfaces. It functions equally well as a lidded bonbonnière, pedestal candy dish, or purely decorative display object. The form has a theatrical, almost architectural presence that suits maximalist interiors, Hollywood Regency styling, formal dining displays, or layered vintage collections.
Condition: Presented in mint condition with original Shannon Crystal label intact. No chips, cracks, or clouding observed.
Production Period: Late 20th Century.
Maker: Shannon Crystal. Designs of Ireland.
Origin: Slovakia
Dimensions: 38cm tall. 18cm diameter.
