Featuring the iconic Lismore pattern introduced in 1952, this wine glass or water goblet represents Waterford's most enduring and celebrated design.
The Lismore pattern showcases the technical mastery for which Waterford became world-renowned—precise diamond and wedge cuts adorn the lower portion of the bowl, creating brilliant light refraction, while graceful vertical cuts extend upward in a radiating pattern. The substantial hexagonal stem provides both visual interest and comfortable handling, while the circular foot features a starburst cut that echoes the bowl's geometric precision.
Waterford Crystal, founded in 1783 in Waterford, Ireland, achieved legendary status for its full lead crystal and exacting hand-cut patterns. The Lismore pattern became synonymous with luxury tableware and remains highly collectible. Each piece required extensive hand-cutting by skilled artisans, making these glasses true works of decorative art.
This goblet works beautifully for formal dining, special occasion entertaining, or as an addition to existing Waterford collections. The timeless design complements both traditional and contemporary table settings, while the substantial weight and brilliant clarity signal unmistakable quality.
