Description
Elegant Waterford crystal double old fashioned glass in the iconic Lismore pattern. Features signature diamond and wedge cuts that create brilliant light refraction. Handcrafted lead crystal with a heavy, weighted base and a multisided starburst cut on the bottom.
Key Features
Highly recognizable Lismore pattern, heavy lead crystal weight, classic luxury branding, timeless wedding registry favorite.
Authenticity Indicators
Look for the acid-etched 'Waterford' wordmark on the base (often near the edge). High confidence due to the specific wedge-cut geometry and light refraction characteristic of Irish lead crystal.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the rim and deep scratches on the base. Cloudiness or 'sickness' from dishwasher use significantly devalues the piece.
