Ireland Trivia #22 ANSWER
The correct answer was . . . Waterford, Ireland
No, I did not buy anything. Why? The tour was great and the carvers were so nice to stop and talk to you and show their work BUT when I was looking in the showroom I noticed that they were had Waterford Crystal for sale that was Made in Germany . . . yep, they were also selling stuff made in Neustadt, Germany! I could go buy it in my backyard for a tenth of the price. I do recommend the tour if that sort of stuff interest you. Thanks for playing!

That's funny...I did hear that they produced for Waterford in Neustadt. Over the 4th of July, we went to Savannah with a couple...the wife is from Waterford, Ireland and she described it so well that I want to go back and see it! Fun times :) I just gave me last collection of crystal wedding gifts away two weeks ago...no more crystal gravy boats or candle sticks as wedding gifts! I miss that factory!
oops..*my* last collection
My mom gave D. and I matching Waterford crystal champagne flutes as a wedding gift, about $100 for the pair. When we were in Neustadt, I saw the EXACT same pattern and bought 6 for about $30! The only difference is the ones from Neustadt didn't have the Waterford name etched on the bottom of the glasses. Crazy!
