Opened on June 8th 2010, the new House of Waterford Crystal manufacturing facility, retail store and visitor centre houses the largest collection of Waterford Crystal in the world. It occupies a 1.5 acre site on the Mall in the heart of Waterford – a prime location set back just a hundred yards or so from the River Suir and the city’s main quay, and bordering the city’s Viking Triangle area. The new manufacturing facility will include highly skilled local craftsmen who will produce 40,000 crystal pieces per year using traditional methods. The House of Waterford range that will be produced will include trophies for prestigious sporting events, bowls and vases from their museum, heritage and designer collections, and also the special order stemware collection.
The factory tour will include the following traditional production areas:
- Wooden mould making
- Crystal Blowing and Furnace
- Quality Inspection & Finishing
- Crystal Cutting
- Crystal Sculpting & Engraving
- Chandelier Assembly
- Design Inspiration
