Waterford. The name stands out, as clear as the beautiful crystal for which it is famous. Once you’ve seen a piece of this beautiful, light-filled crystal; held it in your hand and twirled it in the light, you’ll never forget it…

It was back in 1783 that two brothers started a little crystal factory in Waterford, one of Ireland’s busiest ports. Soon enough, ships began to sail all over the world, laden with beautiful Waterford crystal. Waterford’s reputation grew over the following years, and it looked like the future for Waterford was as bright and shiny as their crystal...but it wasn’t to be, and the company suddenly collapsed.

Years passed…but no one forgets Waterford Crystal.

As Europe was struggling to recover from the Second World War, Waterford Crystal rose from the ashes. The Waterford factory was rebuilt, not very far away from its original location. Its pieces paid tribute to the original, beautiful Waterford pieces, and this time, Waterford flourished. Today, Waterford Crystal graces tables all over the world. Everyone knows the name – and no one forgets the quality.

October the 23rd, 1952 is a very special date in the history of Waterford. It’s the date Waterford introduced Lismore to the world…and nothing’s been the same for Waterford since. Lismore is Waterford’s most successful crystal pattern ever. Traditional and elegant, there’s just something about Lismore that’s charmed generation after generation of crystal lovers…find out for yourself!
