Standing approximately 5.5 inches tall, it displays the signature brilliant clarity and weighty feel characteristic of Irish lead crystal.
Key Features
Waterford Lismore is the world's best-selling crystal pattern, ensuring high brand recognition and consistent buyer demand. The coupe style is currently trending over traditional flutes.
Authenticity Indicators
Check for the acid-etched 'Waterford' gothic-style logo on the underside of the base. The weight and 'ping' resonance when tapped are high-confidence indicators of genuine lead crystal.
Flaws to Note
Faint base scratches from shelf wear; no significant flea bites or cracks. Must check for the acid-etched 'Waterford' mark on the base.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage crystal; Replacements, Ltd. for a quick (but lower) wholesale payout.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'MCM', 'Barware', and 'Bridal Gift'. Photograph against a dark background with backlighting to show the diamond cuts. Highlight that it is a 'Coupe' rather than a 'Sherbet' to attract cocktail enthusiasts.
