Waterford Crystal Lismore Champagne Flute

This is a classic Waterford Crystal champagne flute in the iconic Lismore pattern, one of the most recognizable and enduring designs in lead crystal. The flute features a tall, slender conical bowl transitioning into a faceted hexagonal stem and a circular foot. The bowl is decorated with deep-cut diamond patterns on the lower half, surmounting tall vertical wedge cuts that draw the eye upward. The brilliance and high refractive index suggest lead crystal composition, consistent with Waterford's high-quality standards. The starburst-cut base is a hallmarks of this line. While no acid-etched mark is clearly visible in the photo, the craftsmanship and specific pattern strongly indicate 20th to early 21st-century production. The condition appears excellent with good clarity, no visible chips on the rim or base, and no signs of clouding or heavy scratching. The crispness of the cuts reflects superior hand-finishing or high-quality mold-pressing common to authentic Waterford pieces. The neighboring piece features a green seahorse sticker, further confirming the brand identity.
