Of all the dazzling achievements of the masters of Waterford, nothing exceeds the technical skill of achieving a perfect, even turning of the still-molten crystal, leaving it with a depth that will allow that deep cutting developed to a fine art by successive generations of crystal craftsmen. In this lovely miniature, that deep cutting is used to emphasize the shape. The below details the Miniature Collection.

Heritage is both the name and the promise of this unique collection of Waterford Crystal miniatures. Spanning, as they do, the centuries that connect the Ireland of the 18th century to the global village of the 21st, they speak of the thread of continuity that binds together those who value artistry, skill, creativity and a desire to enrich the present by instilling within it a reverence for the past. A scholarly work devoted to the study of Old Irish Glass speaks about the works of art that were created at Waterford in the 18th century in these words.

Produced every possible kind of glass of the most beautiful colour and cutting. The chandeliers, candelabra, boat-shaped and turnover bowls, were perfect. Like fine jewels that defy the power of time to erode, dedication to creating what is finest endured in that place and in the people. Their descendants revitalized their art for another century, other continents and other sensitive connoisseurs.

The vision of 20th century designers and artisans sparked a renaissance in the making of fine crystal that once again put the name Waterford on the lips of those who spoke of what is finest. The century just ended continued to produce works of the Waterford art that have already become classics and promise to endure as Waterford designs grace museums and great houses across the globe, from Dublin and Sydney, to America's Presidential Home and its Presidential Libraries. In a brilliant spectrum of skill and artistry stretching across four centuries, Waterford artists of each new today succeeded in creating the heirlooms of their successive tomorrows. Now, from among the treasures that mark summits of craft and creativity, the artists of Waterford have drawn designs from their archives and interpreted them in miniature. Like moments of beauty frozen in memory, they come to today's collectors to reassure them that they are the true descendants of those lovers of beauty who went before them.
