In 1783, businessmen George and William Penrosefounded the Waterford Glass House in this busyport city about two hours south of Dublin. Using asecret process, the Penroses mingled minerals andsand to create crystal that soon became the envyof Europe. Nevertheless, in 1851, despite awardsand acclaim, heavy taxes forced the Waterfordfactory to close. In 1947, Irish officialsresurrected the company, which today is thelargest producer of hand-crafted crystal in theworld. To see how it's done, take a tour ofWaterford's historic factory, which is home tosome of glassmaking's finest craftsmen. If youlike what you see, pick up a few goblets at thefactory story. But don't worry about losing yourpurchase to the less than tender care of airlinebaggage handlers: the gift shop will ship it homefor you -- and they guarantee that your crystalwill arrive just as you bought it, or they'llreplace it. Getting there:The Waterford CrystalFactory is on Cork Road in Waterford City, CountyWaterford. Open year-round. Contact: Tel.:011-353-51-373311.
