Its Irish history is best described accurately: a long-established Irish family connection does not by itself make the surname a native Gaelic sept. County and parish records help identify a particular line.
The Osborne collection currently includes mug, woven blanket, T-shirt, novelty license plate, coaster set, garden flag, and ceramic ornament. The woven blanket is the most substantial home piece where available. Designs use the Osborne name and crest; where Irish National Tartan appears, it is a shared Irish heritage background rather than a hereditary family tartan.
