FÁILTE PLAQUE by Wild Goose Studio
Regular price $74.95Story
Few words capture the spirit of Ireland quite like Fáilte, the Irish word for welcome. More than a simple greeting, it expresses a sense of warmth, hospitality, and belonging — the feeling of being welcomed among friends and family.
Designed by Wild Goose Studio as a companion piece to its Sláinte wall hanging, this plaque features an original carving using letters created by renowned Irish stone cutter Tom Little. Its distinctive lettering and traditional character make it a meaningful expression of Irish hospitality.
A beautiful reminder that a warm welcome is one of life's simplest and most enduring gifts.

Irish Heritage
Hospitality has long been central to Irish life. The tradition of welcoming guests, sharing a meal, and making room for another person reflects a deeply rooted sense of generosity and community.
The Irish word Fáilte carries this tradition in a single expression. Whether displayed at the entrance to a home or given as a gift, it conveys something meaningful about the Irish spirit: everyone deserves a warm welcome and a place to belong.

The Carrick Mór Touch
At Carrick Mór, we believe every Irish gift carries a story. From the hands of talented makers to the places and traditions that inspire them, each piece celebrates the craftsmanship and enduring heritage of Ireland.
Made By Wild Goose Ireland
Founded in 1970 by artists Brian Scott-McCarthy and Kathleen Smyth, Wild Goose Studio creates original works inspired by Ireland's history, culture, faith, and artistic traditions. Based in Kinsale, County Cork, the family-run studio brings together talented Irish artists and craftspeople to create pieces with lasting meaning.
Each creation begins with an original sculpture or carving, carefully developed and reproduced using the studio's distinctive cold-cast process. The result is a collection that brings Ireland's artistic and cultural inheritance into the home.
