Description
Elegant Waterford Crystal champagne flute in the iconic Lismore pattern. Features a slender trumpet bowl with signature diamond and wedge cuts on the base of the bowl, a faceted stem with a central glass knob, and a stable circular base. Standing approximately 9.25 inches tall, this leaded crystal glass offers a substantial weight and brilliant light refraction.
Key Features
Highly recognizable luxury pattern; strong brand resale value; bridal and anniversary gift market consistency; discontinued tall variant compared to vintage short flutes.
Authenticity Indicators
Check for the acid-etched 'Waterford' seahorse logo or wordmark on the base. Confidence Level: High due to specific cut geometry and stem design.
Flaws to Note
Cloudiness or 'glass sickness' from dishwasher use (check clarity in sunlight); minute flea bites on the rim; surface scratches on the underside of the base.
