A Tradition of Royal Leerdam Crystal Since 1927

In honor of her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix 80th birthday this 31st of January, Dutch designer Frank Tjepkema was invited to design a vase for Royal Leerdam Crystal.

The design is based on the number 8 opening up elegantly at the top to form a royal collar.

Limited edition of 300, number 1 will be offered to the former Queen.
