Sugar Bowls We had the pleasure of having the first ever free guided tour of all parts of the Theatre Royal on Tuesday. This Waterford Crystal chandelier dates from the 1800's. It is one of three hanging in the Theatre Royal which at 220 years old is the oldest original theatre in Europe. Interesting facts learned on our culture tour these past two days :) Money ran out before the chandeliers were finished so the workers in Waterford Crystal banded together and supplied sugar bowls to finish them. So each candle (now bulb) is sitting in a sugar bowl. The blue is the reflection of the sky through beautiful large windows :) Thursday 21 March 2013
Gaelic Harp Keeping with the Irish themed weekend. This one is made of Waterford Crystal With a resonating chamber usually carved from a single log – traditionally willow – and strung with wires of brass, silver or perhaps even gold, whose resonating strings were selectively damped, the extraordinary sweetness of this instrument was described in glowing terms by early writers. The best-known surviving example is the instrument on which Ireland's national emblem is based: the medieval harp preserved in the Long Room of Trinity College, Dublin. http://www.irishharp.org/about.htm Thank you for the great response to Shillelagh Saturday 16 March 2013
