About Waterford:
For over two centuries the town of Waterford had produced the world's finest crystal. In 1783, George and William Penrose founded the Waterford Glass House, in the ancient Viking city of Waterford and began the tradition of making crystal in "as fine a quality as any Europe ... in the most elegant style". The Penrose's knew the secret of mingling minerals (silica sand, litharge and potash) and glass to create crystal with beautiful mysterious qualities. When tapped it sang sweetly. When touched, it felt warm and soft. The magnificent pieces crafted in Waterford's early period set the standards now recognized as the hallmarks of Waterford Crystal. In 1851 Waterford Crystal factory was forced to close, largely due to heavy excise duties.
Waterford's great tradition lay dormant for a hundred years. But when the Irish independence rekindled its passion for the Irish Arts in the 1940's and 1950's a group of businessmen resolved to bring back to life the legacy that had made Waterford Synonymous with the finest crystal in the world. In 1947 they recruited a small group of artisans and under the guidance of these masters, young apprentices learned the art of Waterford Crystal made famous by their skilled countrymen decades before. By 1951 Waterford Crystal was again launched on the world market. By the 1980's Waterford Crystal became the largest producer of hand crafted crystal.
