For over 200 years, we’ve been harnessing Ireland’s powerful elements to produce hand-crafted luxury crystal, discover more about the history and heritage of Waterford today.

Waterford Crystal was first established in 1783 on land adjacent to Merchants’ Quay in the heart of the Irish harbour town of Waterford, just minutes from the present-day House of Waterford Crystal. Its founders were brothers George and William Penrose, important developers and principal exporters in the city. Their vision was to “create the finest quality crystal for drinking vessels and objects of beauty for the home.” More than two hundred years later, the reputation they established for creating luxury crystal of unsurpassed beauty and quality has transcended the intervening centuries.

Since our humble beginnings, we have expanded our offerings beyond traditional stemware and classic interior pieces to embrace and complete the luxury lifestyle experience. Today our range of luxury crystal pieces includes: Stemware and Barware, Fine China & Flatware, Vases, Bowls & Centrepieces, Collectibles, Lighting, Chandeliers, Paperweights, Holiday Ornaments and Gifts.
