Waterford Crystal is known for its long-standing tradition of unsurpassed elegance and unmistakable quality. The Waterford company, named for the Irish harbor town where it was founded, was established in 1783. The Waterford Company was the vision of brothers William and George Penrose, who dreamed of creating the finest quality crystal for
objects of beauty in the home. More than two hundred years later, the reputation the Waterford Company established for crafting the finest in crystal ornaments and home decor stands unchallenged. Waterford Crystal Christmas ornaments continue to this day to be hand-crafted as they have been for centuries, by a small group of artisans in Waterford, Ireland. Each piece is individually worked to brilliant, flawless perfection, and designed to lend a lasting air of grandeur and refinement to the home.
