“In 1783, brothers George and William Penrose founded the Penrose Glass House in the busy port of Waterford, Ireland, and began to make crystal "as fine a quality as any in Europe ... in the most elegant style." The Penrose's knew the secret of mingling minerals and glass to create crystal with beauty and mystery.”
