In 1783, the brothers George and William Penrose founded the Waterford Glass House, promising to make crystal in "as fine a quality as any in Europe...in the most elegant style." The Penroses knew the secret of mingling minerals and glass to create crystal with beautiful, and mysterious, qualities. When tapped, it sang sweetly. When touched, it felt warm and soft; yet it possessed strength and durability. Most wonderful of all, the crystal shone with a romantic, silvery brilliance.

"FOR TWO CENTURIES THE TOWN OF WATERFORD HAS PRODUCED THE WORLD"S FINEST CRYSTAL."

As it was then, so it is today--the craftsmen of Waterford remain supreme artist. Their skilled hands create distinctive stemware, lamps, desk accessories, a wide array of table items and enchanting gifts. The cuts, in myriad patterns, impact a vivacious sparkle, a personality, to the crystal. And each piece bears a unique finishing touch--the Waterford ® Crystal mark-- as a sign that the centuries old tradition of Waterford live on in the piece you hold in your hands.
