Marquis by Waterford Brookside 9" Flower Vase
Marquis by Waterford · Art & Decor > Vases
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to early 2000s; this is a modern line produced in various European and Asian factories that moved away from the traditional Irish-made Waterford production.
Material
Crystalline (non-lead glass). Unlike classic Waterford, Marquis pieces are typically made of high-quality crystalline which offers clarity without the weight of lead crystal.
Condition
Excellent. The item appears to have no chips, cracks, or 'flea bites.' The original blue Marquis sticker is still present, which suggests minimal use or display-only history.
Demand Level
Moderate. Waterford remains a staple for wedding gifts and holiday decor, but the 'Marquis' diffusion line is very common on the secondary market.

Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark, solid background to show off the glass cuts. Use words like 'Crystal,' 'Wedding Gift,' and 'Brookside' in the title. If shipping, double-box this item with at least 2 inches of padding between the inner and outer boxes to ensure it arrives safely.
