Description
Looking for a handmade, and personalised Irish wedding goblet for your closest friends or family? Then look no further, as I craft the most heartfelt solution for you! See below for the story behind this unique medieval Irish tradition:
In 17th century Ireland when a young man fell in love with a young woman he carved a goblet to present to her. He lovingly crafted the goblet, with two/three captive rings, all from a single piece of wood. These two rings symbolised unity and eternity, while the three rings are said to symbolise engagement, the wedding, and love for eternity. At their wedding feast they both drank from the goblet and thereafter kept it in a safe place. For so long as the rings remained unbroken, they would love each other forever.
‘Aontaithe le Grá (United with Love)’ Traditional Irish Wedding Goblet handcrafted in Co.Galway, Ireland by Furniture Designer-Maker Cian Magill…
Simply picture the faces of your loved ones as they open this one-of-a-kind Irish wedding gift, and re-live a tradition practiced by our ancestors!
Not only does this piece display a beautiful Sterling Silver triple spiral, but it is also the perfect gift for your loved ones, especially those of Irish decent. The wedding chalice also comes packaged beautifully and can be personalised with a message of your choice. Made from a native Irish Ash that lived in Co. Galway since c. 1945.
- This goblet is wood-turned from native Irish Ash of Co.Galway. Ash has strong, distinctive grain, and is what these goblets (and our hurleys) have been traditionally made from for centuries.
- Size: 230mm/ 9.1” high by 92mm/ 3.7” round at widest point
- All pieces come with original, handmade packaging, including a Fairtrade cotton bag (screen-printed), and a Celtic style info card.
- An engraved message is also included which is inscribed underneath each goblet. This usually displays the message ”Made especially for X and Y’s wedding, on the DD/MM/YYYY”. Simply enter your own personalised info in the text box upon purchase
- Note: creations are made to order so details will vary, giving each piece it’s own personality! All pieces are crafted using sustainable and ethically sourced materials, usually felled and air-dried in Galway, Ireland.
- Note: Please order at least 3 weeks in advance of the couple’s wedding to allow enough time for crafting and delivery.

Abi Fitzgerald –
The most beautiful item, I knew it would be amazing but it completely exceeded my expectations. You can tell it has been handmade with love and attention to every detail. The service was fantastic, I received messages from the seller updating me on the progress of the item as it was being made which I very much appreciated. The item also arrived very quickly. I cannot recommend Magill Woodcraft enough!
