Waterford Crystal Vases

While Waterford is world renowned for all of its remarkable range of cut glass and crystal pieces, its vases are some of their most noteworthy. Brilliantly showcasing the delicacy of the brand's designs, Waterford crystal vases share a glassmaking tradition now more than two centuries old.

George and William Penrose were the first to launch the original Waterford glassworks in 1783. Though neither was experienced in the field of glassmaking, the duo set out to create glass of the highest quality, a standard the company still holds today.

In addition to large-scale creations, such as Times Square's magnificent New Year's Eve Ball that dazzles with more than 2,600 individually-cut crystals, Waterford has produced a remarkable range of breathtakingly crafted vases. With shapes that borrow elegant quotations from amphorae to tulips and cut glass work that guarantee an unsurpassed sparkle, Waterford crystal vases are a perfect compliment to a well-set table or a striking stemware service.
