Waterford crystal is, perhaps, the most famous Irish brand world wide (next to Guinness,

Originally known as "Penrose Glass," Waterford crystal was first made
by the brothers George and William Penrose in 1783.
The brothers knew the secret of mingling minerals and glass to create
crystal like no other and their techniques are still used today.
When tapped, it sings sweetly like an Irish tenor.
When touched, it feels warm and soft like an Irish kiss.
