Jerpoint Glass made its big screen debut in the blockbuster Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In the movie we see actors Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Julie Walters, Garry Oldman and Mark Williams raise a toast to Harry Potter with the specially commissioned Jerpoint Trumpet Wineglass whilst on Christmas Break at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, the secret headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix.
“We were thrilled to discover that one of our handmade glasses was going to appear on the latest Harry Potter Movie, epically as we are huge Harry Potter fans! Jerpoint has an inherent antique quality that fitted perfectly into the style of the movie”
