Waterford Crystal Lismore Wine

Waterford no longer made in Ireland
Persons ordering Waterford replacements should know that it is not made in Ireland anymore. the irish company closed a couple of years ago and sold the brand. I have a large Waterford collection and ordered two wine glasses to replace recently broken glasses through Amazon. The glasses came on time securely packaged in Waterford boxes. They were trademarked "Waterford" and were marked "made in the Czech Republic." On first glance they look the same, but when you "ping" them you notice that it doesn't "ring" like the old stuff. It is also a bit thicker and a bit heavier. I researched it and some say that the Irish made glass was hand blown while the new product is machine made. It looks ok, but it is not as thin or as light as the original Waterford and doesn't have that same delightful crystal sound when you toast with it.

Gorgeous Traditional Pattern
I have loved this pattern for over 30 years. It is beautiful and classic. My daughter was washing dishes at Christmastime and broke one of her grandmother's Lismore wine glasses. I ordered this to replace it. It arrived quickly and in pristine condition. Thanks for the great service, Amazon!

AWSOME!!!!
I purchased this to start my daughter &son-in-law on fine crystal. The pattern is beautiful. This pattern has been around for nearly or maybe even more than 40 years. So I believe it's a pattern that is here to stay.
