The name Waterford is synonymous with quality. Created by hand in the city of Waterford, Ireland more than 200 years ago, this well crafted glassware appeared in the homes of the well to do families throughout Europe, and even gained the admiration of the British royal family. Waterford Crystal pieces are valuable because they contain very intricate design elements, and the process to create them is both complex and labour intensive. The larger the piece, the more detail it includes, and the more expensive it is purchase. The cost of these works of art varies from under £50 for an ornate seahorse memento to well in excess of £10,000 for an intricate crystal chandelier. Today, Waterford crystal is still hand cut and produced with an incredibly exacting attention to craftsmanship and remains a highly coveted and collectible brand.

Waterford Crystal is named after the city of Waterford, Ireland. The origins of crystal production in Waterford date back to 1783 when George and his nephew William Penrose started their business, the Waterford Glassworks. It produced extremely fine flint glass that became world-renowned.
