This house of glass has acquired a reputation for manufacturing crystals that has few equals. Apparently this Waterford establishment has long since ceased to be a commercial factory but has retained all the charm associated with crystal manufacturing.

The museum is an eye opener and one can go through the history of Waterford Crystal. There is a small manufacturing premises but that s more for exhibition rather than large commercial intentions.

As we were part of a large 40 plus group of travellers with Trafalgar, the guided tour that followed was very enriching and exciting. Look at the photo and check out the intricacy in the gramophone made of crystal.

The staff is (or was anyway when we visited in June 2017) cheerful and guide you to making the best purchases. They are quick to explain about the different pieces of crystals on display and generally you will want to spend more time (and probably money!) than you had earlier bargained.

So people, loosen your purse strings and enjoy the visit to Waterford Crystal.
