Ireland is a country of words. Spoken, written, or sung, the Irish are famously verbose and social people known for their warmth, hospitality, and generosity. It is the Irish spirit of togetherness, sharing, and interaction that inspires our Waterford Short Stories Collection. The Aras Short Stories pattern is derived from the Irish word for home and the design depicts a vertical cut representing the striking architecture of the turrets seen in Ireland's many beautiful castles. This Aras Double Old Fashioned 12 OZ is the ideal glass for any vintage cocktail. Perfect for gifting, this set is presented in classic Waterford packaging.
