The legend of Waterford crystal began in 1783 when the Penrose brothers opened the doors of their factory in the Irish port of Waterford. With the help of John Mill, an experienced glassmaker from Stourbridge in England, they produced crystal with a purity of colour never before seen in England.
Today, Waterford Crystal is considered the finest crystal in the world, through its dedication to quality, craftsmanship and stunning designs. Such artistry has earned Waterford its reputation for distinctive crystal with unsurpassed beauty and brilliance, recognised by the Waterford stamp on the base- the hallmark of excellence.
