Waterford Crystal Factory
-
Most visitors to Waterford come specifically to see its famous glassworks – and buy whatever they can afford of its renowned “crystal”. First opened in 1783, closed in 1851 and reopened in 1947, the factory has always used the same production methods, every item being individually hand-crafted. A 40-minute tour and a film show off the astonishing skill of the glassblowers and cutters, while the Crystal Gallery displays an array of what is made.
