Welsh Royal Crystal

Fine wines and good scotch need, nay demand great glasses to drink them out of. Coffee mugs while great for tea and coffee, are not what a good Macellan deserves. It needs a touch of style and elegance, and I know just the place to buy what I like to call 'glass with class'. A place where the handcrafting skills are centuries old and the glass is cut with fine Traditional, Intaglio and Celtic designs, that you won't find anywhere else. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Welsh Royal Crystal! Creators of some of the most stunning glass I have ever seen (and being a lover of good scotch ive seen quite a few). When something is created with passion and dedication, you can see it in the finished work and this is certainly true of Welsh Royal Crystal. Their tumblers, wine glasses, bowls and vases are true works of art (one of my particular favourites is their 1/2 Pint Barrel Tankard) and are real stand out pieces for your Welsh dresser or drinks cabinet.
The natural beauty of the Cambrian mountains and lakes of Mid Wales, where one can find Welsh Royal Crystal, have inspired fabulous designs which all stamped with the Welsh Royal Crystal assay mark, a traditional Welsh Dragon that represents a symbol of quality. You wouldn't expect anything less from the last hand crafted crystal glass makers in Wales, which you can see in action in their visitor center with a demonstration from their Master Craftsman. There is a coffee shop too and plenty of parking so visitors can make a day of it. All this with a warm, friendly atmosphere, there is no better way to shop for crystal glass at very wallet/purse friendly prices.

And don't forget, Welsh Royal Crystal are winners of Theo Paphitis' #SBS (small buisness sunday) award for added coolness.
Its so good to know that Wales still has a lot of great buisnesses in this little country of ours, and Welsh Royal Crystal is truly a great. Visit them online today, or even better visit in person in Rhayader, Powys, Wales. Oh and follow them on Twitter via @WelshRoyalCryst , they are very friendly. Dai Jake's Book gives them a giant thumbs up!.
