Standing approximately 9.5 inches tall, they feature a slender pulled stem and a stable circular base. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or celebratory toasts.
Key Features
Recognizable Waterford branding; classic vertical and diamond cut pattern; high-end look for an accessible price point; popular for wedding replacements.
Authenticity Indicators
The 'Marquis by Waterford' acid-etch mark should be found on the top of the base/foot. High confidence (95%) based on pattern geometry.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the rim and base. Ensure there is no 'glass sickness' (permanent cloudiness from dishwasher use).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is best for reach; Etsy if sold as 'vintage' (if 20+ years old); Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Use the keyword 'Replacement' in the title. Photograph against a dark, solid background to highlight the glass cuts. Wrap extremely well in bubble wrap—glass breakage is a high risk for this item.
