Founded in County Tyrone Ireland in 1771, the first hand-blown lead crystal made in Ireland was made by "Tyrone Crystal. The company closed for a period in the 1800's and glass from this earlier period is highly sought after. An old company brochure is titled TYRONE CRYSTAL: THE MOST EXCLUSIVE LEAD CRYSTAL IN THE WORLD. Tyrone Crystal was chosen as crystal maker for the largest crystal chandelier in Ireland which is almost 15 feet tall and weighs almost 900 pounds. Although crystal has been made in Waterford since 1783 when "Penrose's Crystal House" was started, "Waterford Crystal" did not exist until 1947 and is unrelated to the earlier factory.
