Elegant Waterford Crystal champagne flute in the iconic Lismore pattern. Features the signature diamond and wedge cuts that catch the light beautifully. The stem includes a faceted 'knob' detail leading to a stable, starburst-cut base. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or high-end tablescapes.

High brand recognition (Waterford); most popular crystal pattern worldwide (Lismore); heavy 'ping' sound when tapped; timeless luxury appeal.
Authenticity Indicators
Acid-etched 'Waterford' wordmark usually found on the underside of the base (may require a magnifying glass). High confidence in authenticity based on the specific cut geometry and faceted stem knob.
Flaws to Note
Possible hard water deposits (fixable with vinegar); check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the thin rim and base edge.

Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark, solid background to show the crystal cuts. Mention 'Backstamp' or 'Acid Mark' to prove authenticity. Use double-box shipping to ensure it survives transit.
