North Palm Beach, Fla. (January 27, 2010) – Orrefors, a world-renowned Swedish crystal glass manufacturer, has designed and produced a line of elegant stemware and barware for the Nicklaus Companies. Two exclusive collections will be offered; both are handmade, made of lead-free crystal, designed and produced in Sweden by Orrefors. The Nicklaus Collections will include the Golden Bear logo etched into the glass.
The White Collection features barware and stemware styles that have a traditional feel, with smooth, round designs, while the Black Collection has a contemporary look with more angular shapes.
Nicklaus Crystal is now available exclusively at www.NicklausCrystal.com for pre-sale orders and will begin shipping in February for the White Collection and March for the Black Collection. The Nicklaus Collections will have global distribution and will be offered through established retailers this fall, as well to Nicklaus courses, which will have the option to engrave the club’s logo or the Golden Bear.
The Nicklaus White Collection is currently on display through Saturday at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida.
