How do you know if your Waterford crystal was made in Ireland?
Check the bottom of the piece of crystal. You will find a very small and faint logo that will actually say Waterford. I don't think that answers the person's question. Waterford crystal, beginning some time in the 1990's was being made in Slovenia, not Ireland. Now it might even be made in China. Point being, it is no longer made in Ireland UNLESS it's a high-end order from VIP's like Trump or the President, etc. So, the questions remains. How can a person tell if the crystal they already own was made in Ireland? Do they not stamp Waterford on the pieces made in Slovenia?
