Description

The only producers of crystal in Canada, NovaScotian Crystal takes pride in helping to preserve the Irish tradition of creating beauty from sand and heat. The exquisite goblets, bowls, vases and more are made the way they have always been, with care and an almost intuitive feel for the materials. As corporate gifts or additions to your own collection, these pieces may be just what you're looking for. During the summer months, take time out of your walk along the harbour front to watch the glassblowers work their amazing craft.
