Stellar
Over 5000 years ago, Ireland’s stargazing heritage was embedded in its soil, as early civilizations built the megalithic sites at Newgrange and Loughcrew to reveal astronomical secrets, record and capture solar events and even map the constellations.
Millennia later, and our fascination with the night sky has not wavered. Hand-crafted at the House of Waterford in Ireland, the remarkable Stellar collection details the constellations in magnificent detail, celebrating humanities’ fascination with the stars and the proficiency, precision and perfection of elite Irish craftsmanship.
Man may only have reached the moon in 1969, but mankind has always looked to the stars in wonder. On every continent on our planet, you’ll find ancient relics and rituals dedicated to unearthing celestial mysteries. Here in Ireland, it’s no different. In prehistoric times, our ancient civilisation built monuments at Newgrange and Loughcrew, with entrances aligned to the rising of the winter solstice sun. Older than the pyramids and Stonehenge, they pay homage to our fascination with the universe above. This fascination, which continues to this day, is now celebrated by our craftsmen’s latest work, the Stellar Collection.
