Waterford is not a who, but actually a what. It is one of the leading companies in crystal glassware. That’s why they are actually called Waterford Crystal and any person who loves crystal objects at home will have at least one item made by this company. Waterford makes items that are sold all over the world.
The Waterford decanter is just one of these beautiful (and expensive) items this company is creating. The company started initially in the late 1700 in Ireland. It was founded by two Irish brothers, George and William Penrose who wanted to create find crystal for drinking vessels, and to their credit they succeeded quite well.
As a matter of fact, they’re doing so well that the company has celebrated in 2002 exactly 50 years of being in existence. The crystal is very popular everywhere and you can find it now and then offered quite expensively at Ebay. Just make sure that the seller is reputable and you can confidently bid on their pieces.
