The company of Waterford was first established in 1783 on land adjacent to Merchants' Quay in the heart of the Irish harbor town of Waterford. Its founders were two brothers, William & George Penrose, who were important developers & principal exporters in the city. Their vision was to "create the finest quality crystal for drinking vessels & objects of beauty for the home." More than two hundred years later, the reputation they established for creating glass of unsurpassed beauty & quality has transcended the intervening centuries.
Waterford Crystal has become almost a synonym for the finest quality crystal sought after by collectors and connoisseurs around the world. Each piece of Waterford is watermarked with the word "Waterford", a signature indicating the name of the finest crystal in the world.
