Waterford Crystal Lismore Tall Water/Wine Goblet
Waterford · Kitchenware & Appliances > Drinkware & Glassware
Era / Decade
Produced from 1952 to present; this specific piece appears modern (post-1980s) due to the clarity and sharpness of the diamond and wedge cuts.
Material
Fine Lead Crystal (33% lead content). High-density Glass with a resonant ring when tapped.
Condition
Very Good. The crystal appears clear with no clouding. However, there is a visible flea bite or small chip on the upper rim (near the center of the image).
Demand Level
Moderate. While it is a classic, the market for single stems is smaller than sets, and damage further limits the audience to those looking for 'replacements'.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$25.00 - $45.00 (Single stem with minor rim damage/flea bite)
Estimated Retail Value
$90.00 - $110.00 per stem (MSRP for New)
Comparable Sales
Pristine 'Lismore' water goblets typically sell for $45-$65 on eBay. Stems with minor rim flakes or chips generally sell for $20-$30 or are sold as 'parts/repair'.
Description
Exquisite Waterford Crystal goblet in the iconic 'Lismore' pattern. This stem features the signature diamond and wedge cuts that maximize light refraction. It has a tall, elegant pulled stem and a plain round base. Perfect for water or large pours of wine. Standing approximately 8-9 inches tall.
Key Features
Highly recognizable collector pattern; high brand equity; heavy weight and classic luxury aesthetic; 'Lismore' is the world's best-selling crystal pattern.
Authenticity Indicators
Acid-etched 'Waterford' mark on the base (likely the Gothic script or the Seahorse logo); high level of brilliance/refraction; heavy weight. Confidence level: High.
Flaws to Note
A small chip/flea bite is visible on the rim. This significantly impacts value for collectors but can sometimes be professionally ground down if the chip is shallow.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy. These platforms are best for 'Replacements' buyers looking to fill a gap in their existing sets. Facebook Marketplace is an option for local sales but usually yields lower prices for single pieces.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Lismore' pattern name in the title. Take a clear macro photo of the 'Waterford' acid stamp on the base to prove authenticity. Disclose the rim chip clearly to avoid returns. Suggest it as a 'replacement piece' or 'spare'.
