Description
Waterford Crystal Factory Tour
Located in Irelands oldest city, founded in 914 A.D., Waterford is a southeast coastal seaport and the home of glass manufacturer Waterford Crystal.
The factory tour is certainly a must see if stopping in Waterford is on your schedule. Watching the process of glass blowing and shaping, as well as the designing of various pieces, is interesting and educational. Lasting about an hour it includes a start-to-finish of various products as well as giving you the opportunity to make purchases at factory discounts.
The artisans are not only craftsman but knowledgeable, meticulous and creative. Taking molten crystal and transforming it into various pieces from vases, bowls, glasses and a multitude of other things the art has been passed down through generations.
