The light glistens through the crystal like rays of diamonds as you caress it in your hands. Pinging your finger gently against the side of the crystal encompasses a feeling of sheer luxury. Oh! To own the whole set of the new beautiful Waterford Crystal design.
It’s the Waterford ® Dolmen Suite
A new suite, sublimely Irish, rich in ancestry, commemorates the massive rocks that mark the graves of ancient Celtic ancestors.
What a wonderful description of this new design.
Following is a brief history about Waterford Crystal …
Waterford Crystal is a trademark brand of crystal glassware produced in Waterford, Ireland, by the company Waterford Wedgwood plc. A crystal business was originally founded in the city in 1793 by George and William Penrose, it produced extremely fine crystal that became world-renowned.
However, their company later closed, reportedly due to excessive taxation of the product. In 1947, Czech immigrant Charles Bacik established a glass works in the city, due to the superb reputation of the original glassware. Aided by fellow countryman and designer Miroslav Havel, the company started operations in a depressed Ireland, by the early 1950's it had been taken over by Irish management.
In May 2005, Waterford Wedgwood announced the closure of its factory in Dungarvan in order to base all operations in the main factory in Kilbarry, Waterford City, where 1,000 people are employed by the company. The move resulted in nearly 500 Dungarvan workers losing their jobs. The Kilbarry operation features a tourist centre offering guided tours of the factory, a gift shop, cafe, and gallery.
