The history of Irish Hand Cut Crystal goes back to the late 17th century. George Ravenscroft started the tradition in 1676. The glassmaker added lead oxide to the silicates that make up the molten glass. The process achieved a softness that allowed the glass to be blown and carved while remaining hard and clear as it cooled. The first crystal factory in Ireland opened in County Tyrone in 1771.
The Creation of Waterford Crystal
The Waterford Crystal we know today back in 1783 with George and William Penrose. Their vision was to “create the finest quality crystal for drinking vessels and decorative objects of beauty for the home.”
The Penrose brothers sought the expertise of renowned glassmaker John Hill in 1785. Hill that began the process of polishing the glass to give the unique Waterford Crystal shine now known the world over. Hill left Waterford in 1788 after a major disagreement with the Penrose brothers. Waterford cut glass...

18th Century Blue and White Delft Jug Inscribed 'Boy' Hand-Painted Circa 1750
By Delft
Located in Katonah, NY
This blue and white English Delft jug, made circa 1750-1760, has a tall, narrow neck with a slightly flared rim on a distinctive globular body. The decoration is the word "BOY" framed by blue dashes.
It is hand-painted in blue, done in a freehand, fluid style that includes typical irregularities in the paint.
Historically, 18th-century English Delftware is known for its freehand, fluid decoration, characterized by minor irregularities that evoke an authentic folk art quality.
The rustic and uneven glaze is also characteristic of this pottery.
The jug has a utilitarian feel, featuring four protruding lugs on the sides.
Its modest yet charming form, rounded shape, and understated ornamentation reflect the everyday aesthetic of mid-18th-century Delftware production.
Delftware jugs were often created for public houses, and "Boy" might reference part of a pub name, a local drinking song, or a common toast.
Just as likely, given England's strong maritime traditions, this could refer to a sailor's drinking vessel.
In naval and military slang, "Boy" was often used to refer to young sailors or recruits.
This hand-painted inscription adds a personal touch, making this jug a unique and engaging example of antique Delftware...

Islamic Glazed Pottery Bowl with Kufic Calligraphy Nishapur Ware Provenance
Located in Atlanta, GA
An earthenware pottery bowl in conical shape supported by a short foot ring covered in white slip and decorated with black slip paint of calligraphy in Kufic script. This type of bowl is identified as Nishapur ware circa 10-11th century (in nowadays Iran). It was made either in Samanid Dynasty (819–999) or the successive Ghaznavid Empire (977–1186) before the Mongol invasion. The white glaze on the vessel's exterior was thinly applied, resulting in areas with streaks of opaque yellowing. The black slip paint was used to decorate the bowl in flowing Kufic script before a transparent top glaze was applied. The writing, consisting of cursive strokes in bell shape, is likely an Arabic Maxim.
Under UV examination, the bowl shows some professionally restoration as described in condition. It comes with a custom-made acrylic stand as shown.
Provenance: From an American collection, thereby descent. Purchased from Yacobs Gallery, London England, July 1998. Two digital copy the original hand-written documents...
