This set of 4 hock wine glasses exemplifies Waterford’s celebrated precision cutting and refined sense of proportion. Each glass displays the Clarendon pattern, distinguished by deep, symmetrical cuts that capture and refract light with brilliant intensity. The Clarendon Ruby pattern, now discontinued, is highly sought after by collectors for its fusion of traditional cutwork and bold colouration.

The vivid ruby overlay adds a rich tonal contrast to the crystal’s natural clarity, producing a luxurious warmth that enhances both modern and traditional interiors.

Each glass combines a graceful, elongated bowl with a slender stem designed to concentrate the bouquet of hock and other fine white wines.

At 247 grams, the glasses have satisfying weight and balance in the hand, conveying the quality for which Waterford has been renowned since the 18th century.

Each glass bears the Waterford acid-etched signature to the base, attesting to authenticity and origin. Each glass was mouth-blown and hand-cut from lead crystal, demonstrating the precision and artistry for which Waterford’s craftsmen have been celebrated for generations.
