Corrib is a small village located on the rural west coast of Ireland near Galway city. It is a truly beautiful area with spectacular scenery steeped in culture and folklore. Lough Corrib is the second largest stretch of inland water in Ireland. It's name in old Irish is Loch Oirbsen which is derived from the name of the sea-god, Oirbsiu Mac AllÛid, commonly called Manannan Mac Lir, "The Son of the Sea", from whom the Isle of Man is designated. He was slain in conflict by Uillin, grandson of Nuadu of the Silver Hand, King of Tuatha De Danann, in a battle on the western margin of the lake. The wavy features, basket weave pattern and hand painted shamrocks on the Corrib Vase are reminiscent of this historically rich area of Ireland. Standing at 8.8 inches tall it is also more than capable of holding a generously sized bunch of fresh flowers. Treat yourself or give to a friend. A wonderful vase crafted and painted by hand using traditional techniques in Ireland. |
