In 1783, George and William Penrose opened the Flint Glass Works in Ireland. A splendid array of drinkware, serving accessories, and decorative crystal flowed from the Glass House into the aristocratic home of Europe and America. In 1788, Waterford produced a glassware service as a gift to her Majesty, Charlotte Sophia, wife to King George III. The King and Queen were so charmed by the crystal service that they ordered the set to be displayed at Cheltenham castle. At two exhibitions, the Royal Dublin Society bestowed medals for superb design on Waterford Crystal’s entries.
Through a tumultuous history, Waterford is still synonymous with fine crystal and the customary gift for royalty, heads of state and for prestigious trophies in the sciences and for sporting events.
