Description
Exquisite Waterford Crystal champagne flute in the Lismore Castle pattern. This design is a sophisticated evolution of the classic Lismore, featuring elongated vertical wedge cuts and a signature diamond-cut bowl. The stem is slender and tapered, leading to a clear, unmarked base. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or high-end tablescapes.
Key Features
Prestige brand recognition, 'Lismore Castle' is a highly collectible variant of the world's most popular crystal pattern, heavy hand-feel, and timeless wedding gift appeal.
Authenticity Indicators
Acid-etched Waterford logo typically found on the center or edge of the base (may require a flashlight and magnifying glass). High-quality resonance when tapped. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
No visible chips or cracks. Potential for very light shelf wear on the bottom of the base (surface scratches). Check for 'cloudiness' caused by dishwasher use, though this specimen appears clear.
