Marquis by Waterford Brookside Rose Bowl Vase
Waterford (Marquis line) · Art & Decor > Glassware & Vases
Era / Decade
Early 2000s (approx. 2000-2010)
Material
Crystalline glass/Lead-free crystal. While branded by Waterford, the Marquis line is typically high-quality machine-cut crystalline rather than hand-blown full lead crystal.
Condition
Very Good. The glass appears clear and free of major clouding (sickness), but one area near the top rim wedge cut shows potential minor flea bites/roughness standard for thrift-find crystal.
Demand Level
Moderate. Waterford remains a staple for wedding gifts and traditional decor, but the market is saturated with the Marquis line.

Description
Sophisticated Marquis by Waterford crystal rose bowl in the popular Brookside pattern. This piece features deep wedge cuts that catch the light beautifully and a scalloped rim. Measuring approximately 4 inches in height and 4.5 inches in diameter, it is the perfect size for a small floral arrangement or as a standalone decorative piece. The Marquis mark is likely etched on the bottom center.
Key Features
Recognizable global luxury brand (Waterford), versatile size, timeless Brookside wedge-cut pattern, heavy weight for its size giving it a high-quality feel.
Authenticity Indicators
Look for the 'Marquis by Waterford' acid stamp on the base; it is often very faint. The precision of the cuts and the clarity of the glass are high. Confidence level: High (this is a very common, authentic mass-produced piece by the brand).
Flaws to Note
Look for internal 'clouding' from hard water, which is difficult to remove. Check the sharp edges of the cuts for tiny chips (flea bites). The item lacks the original box, which reduces value by about 25%.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest audience for crystal collectors), Facebook Marketplace (best for quick local sale to avoid shipping risks), or Etsy (if marketed as vintage decor).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark background with side-lighting to show off the sparkle of the cuts. Use keywords like 'Crystal Rose Bowl', 'Waterford Brookside', and 'Centerpiece'. Wrap extremely well in bubble wrap—crystal is prone to shattering during transit due to its rigidity.
