Traditional Designs - Holbein

Another traditional pattern but more elaborate than most. Dormant for some years, Holbein was recently re-introduced, firstly to a restricted market, subsequently on a general basis. A diagonal fringe is cut round the top of the design, above a circle of fine diamonds, with cross centers below. One of the taller profiles in the Tudor range, Holbein comes in twenty-three of the regular shapes and sizes.

HOLBEIN; like other famous names adorning the Tudor Crystal range, was a true servant of the House of Tudor. Hans Holbein, the younger, was a German painter, born in Augsberg in 1497. He traveled and painted extensively across the European continent and undertook many royal portraits, some of which continue to hang in Windsor Castle.
