Waterford Crystal History
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 and George Penrose, who were 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 crystal of unsurpassed beauty and quality has transcended the intervening centuries.
With a combined history of over 600 years of heritage, tradition and craftsmanship, today Waterford Wedgwood, plc is among the world's leading luxury lifestyle group with world class brands that include Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood, W C Designs, Rosenthal and All-Clad.
Waterford Wedgwood plc was established in 1986 with the merger of Waterford Crystal and Wedgwood.
