I assume this is some kind of glassware.

"Crystal" generally means it has a high refractive index, giving it a distinctive look.

No "crystal" glassware is really crystal in the sense that it's actually crystalline, so Shannon is just as entitled to use the term as any other manufacturer is.

Anything below 24% is considered "Crystal Glass".  If it has 24% lead or above it is considered "Lead Crystal". The lead gives it it's weight, but also greater clarity and refraction than "cut glass".  At 30% lead, it is called "Full Lead Crystal", rarer.

Why is waterford crystal not made in waterford?

Some Waterford Crystal is made in Waterford but not as industrially as before the factory in Waterford closed down. A year or so later the House of Waterford Crystal opened, it makes a bit of the crystal but only really to sell in the store. Frankly it cost to much to make in Ireland with the minimum pay of €1,461.85 a month. It is much cheaper to make in places such as China.
