Jim O'LearyJim O'Leary, Master Cutter and Waterford Crystal Design Director, passed away in June 2013, at age 69. He spent more than 50 years working for Waterford Crystal, working his way up from a teenage apprentice to become Waterford’s international ambassador and a driving force for both design and quality.Jim's repertoire of limited and exclusive creations won him legions of fans around the world, particularly with crystal collectors in the United States, Europe and Australia. The Araglin collection, which Jim designed, is second only to Lismore among Waterford Crystal's most famous and successful patterns.Jim came to the wider attention of the public as the Waterford ambassador for the Times Square Millennium Ball, which was first used to mark the countdown on New Year's Eve 1999 in New York. The Times Square ball has become a vital part of the New York celebrations and is watched by millions around the world on New Year's Eve.Significant Jim O’Leary designs include the Carina and Castlemaine patterns, the Romance of Ireland collection and the Star of Peace in 1999, which became the first Waterford Crystal panels to be placed on the famous Millennium Ball in Times Square Due to the nature of hand blown and hand cut crystal there will be slight variations from glass to glass. All sizes are approximant, and each glass may have a slight variation in weight. Air bubbles can appear in hand blown glass and are not considered a flaw.
