Contemporary Black Cut Crystal 12 inch Candlestick John Rocha at Waterford Crystal black branded box John Rocha Black Cut glass by Waterford Crystal is a unique statement giftware range. The clear diamond cut band offset against the black crystal exudes style and quality. John Rocha is the name that evokes simple elegance and clean, contemporary style and vision. John Rocha was born in Hong Kong of Chinese and Portuguese descent. He studied fashion in London during the 1970\'s before moving and settling in Dublin Ireland during the 1980\'s. His affinity with the Irish way of life lead to his glass design collaboration with the Waterford Crystal factory. The earliest John Rocha crystal patterns of Signature, Geo and Black Cut Crystal are still the best selling quality wine glass patterns we stock, moving from contemporary masterpieces to become Waterford Heritage crystal. Since the Waterford Wedgwood Group WWRD closed the Waterford Crystal factory in Kilbarry Ireland in March 2009 all product is now produced in quality European Crystal factories to Waterfords exacting standards.
