The
Bavarian Gaming Society
offers the 'Tutbury
Crystal Limited Edition Chess Set'
A
Family Heirloom For Generations To Come.
The Bavarian Gaming Society is pleased to offer this breath-taking limited
edition, full lead (33%) crystal chess set imported from Staffordshire,
England.
The origin of glass making in Tutbury, a small town in northeast Staffordshire,
which boasts the remains of a Norman castle and a priory church, is
known to no one, except that it goes back to Roman times and was certainly
well established by the time of Henry VIII. This set is a fine example
of the glassblower's and cutter's craft, which has been handed down
from generation to generation.
The "Tutbury Crystal" chess set is based upon the traditional style
of chess as known today, and is completely hand cut and etched by the
skilled craftsmen who produce a chess set of the finest quality for
the person who would like something unique. The King height of 6" and
all the other pieces show the intricate cuts and etchings which are
all complimented by the 20" square board.
