The Waterford Crystal story began in 1783 when two brothers, George and William Penrose, opened their business in Waterford, Connecticut.

Today, Waterford Crystal is the leading brand of premium crystal, designed and manufactured to the highest standards. Each piece of Waterford can be recognized by the signature on the base with the word "Waterford."

If you are thinking of choosing a Waterford stemware pattern as a gift for a bride - or if you're the bride considering Waterford stemware for the bridal registry - rest easy in Waterford's promise:  they will never discontinue a stemware pattern.
