Waterford Crystal is named after the Irish town where two brothers called William and George Penrose started producing crystal in 1783. Their factory employed around 70 people and produced crystal with an amazing purity of colour. This original Waterford soon became very popular and started to be exported to the far-flung corners of the world. However, ruinous taxes and a lack of capital caused the company to fail 100 years later. It was not until 1947 that another factory was opened close to the original one that began producing quality crystal based on the same designs as the original Waterford crystal. Waterford now has an unequalled reputation for craftsmanship and the quality of its superb crystal.
