The origins of Waterford Crystal date back to the late 18th century in Waterford, Ireland. The company was established in 1783 by two brothers, George and William Penrose, and their cousin, John Hill. They set up a glass-manufacturing factory in the city of Waterford, which quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality glassware. Waterford Crystal became particularly renowned for its intricate and beautifully crafted cut glass designs. The company’s master craftsmen utilized traditional techniques such as hand-cutting and engraving, resulting in exquisite crystal pieces that were highly sought after. Over the years, Waterford Crystal grew in prominence and gained international recognition for its craftsmanship and artistic excellence. The company supplied crystal products to royalty, aristocracy, and prestigious organizations across the globe. However, Waterford Crystal faced financial difficulties in the late 20th century and went through several ownership changes and restructuring. In 2009, the company went into receivership and ceased production temporarily. In 2010, Waterford Crystal was acquired by the Irish company WWRD Holdings Ltd, which is now part of the Fiskars Group, a leading consumer goods company. Under new ownership, Waterford Crystal resumed production and continued its legacy of creating high-quality crystal products. Today, Waterford Crystal remains a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship. The company continues to produce a wide range of crystal products, including stemware, vases, bowls, and decorative items that are cherished by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
