Vintage Waterford Crystal Master Cut Oval Kennedy Bowl Prestige Collection

History of the Kennedy Bowl:

"The visit to Ireland of US President John F Kennedy 50 years ago was a pivotal moment in Irish history and was celebrated by a series of events in Wexford hosted by the Irish Government and Failte Ireland. One of the main highlights of the JFK50 programme was the lighting of the Emigrant Flame in New Ross, County Wexford. The flame taken from JFK’s grave at Arlington cemetery was lit by the Taoiseach and members of the Kennedy family.

On the 17th March 1961, the  Ambassador of Ireland, Thomas J. Kiernan, presented President Kennedy with an arrangement of shamrocks in a Waterford Crystal Oval Bowl at the  White House. The Oval Bowl, then became known as the Kennedy Bowl. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of President Kennedys visit to Ireland, the House of Waterford Crystal hosted a private luncheon, as part of key attractions in the region commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 'Homecoming". David McCoy, Director of Sales & Marketing presented a replica Kennedy Bowl to mark the occasion."  -The House of Waterford
