Product Description
For generations Waterford has produced the world's most celebrated Irish crystal, crafted with the traditions and standards forged over two centuries ago. The traditional Lismore collection is Waterford's most popular stemware pattern, taking its elegant name from a famous castle in Ireland. Amazon.com Review
An enduring beauty by crystal designer Miroslav Havel, Lismore was first introduced to the world in 1952. Waterford reintroduced Lismore in 2002 to celebrate a reign of fifty years as one of the most popular crystal patterns in the world. Handsomely gift-boxed in dark gray, this set of two Lismore champagne flutes makes an inspired gift for a young couple beginning to build a collection, and complements a wide range of stemware and accoutrements. Lismore is the definitive, classic pattern everyone thinks of when they think of Waterford crystal. Heavy and lavishly cut to catch and reflect light brilliantly, each Lismore flute features a striking diamond and wedge cut pattern that fires up from the base of the graceful, trumpet-shaped bowl. Stems are six-faceted, and bases radiate with sunburst cuts. A table set with Lismore presents a timeless elegance indeed. Like all fine crystal, these two 9-1/4-inch-tall flutes should be washed by hand in moderately hot, soapy water, then rinsed and dried thoroughly to protect the porous surface from harsh detergents. A crystal glass should be stored upright, not on its delicate rim, to ensure longevity for generations to come. --Ann Bieri
