Crystal Heaven has been founded 2024 by Frank and Dani Kuijpers. Both of us have a love for crystal and collected as hobbyist our whole lifes.
Our goal is it to offer a page where people can find replacements of their treasured crystal collection. What is more beautiful than a set of crystal glasses on the table for the holiday season? And imagine one of your glasses broke and your set is incomplete. Most crystal series are manufactured only for some years and are much too fast discontinued.
And this is where we come into play.
We try to find these discontinued items for you and offer them to a reasonable price.
Of course we package them well in several layers of bubble-wrap and paper. We send them insured so that you can enjoy your purchase of the most beautiful crystal without any damages.
We currently specialise in Waterford crystal, the Irish crystal of high quality. Due to the high lead content that gives the crystal that super clear sparkle and ring, the pieces are quite heavy. Waterford has a long history that goes back to the 1700’s and still flourishes in Ireland to this day.
Surely you have seen the huge sparkling Super Bowl trophy presented on the field after the big game? That’s Waterford!
The company has been started in 1783 as the Flint Glass Works. The royalty of Ireland and England were fascinated by the beauty of the crystal and furnished their castles with many beautiful pieces. As you could imagine, this made Waterford a household name and everyone wanted to own a piece or two.
Many Irish immigrants brought the love of Waterford to America. Some of the more popular patterns are Lismore, engraved with a beloved castle, Colleen, Alana and the newer Millenium series.
You can identify most Waterford by the acid etching on the bottom of each piece (since middle of 1980ies) or the gold and green sticker with the seahorse symbol.
