Marquis by Waterford Brookside Wine Goblet

This item is a clear crystal wine goblet from the Marquis by Waterford line, specifically identified as the Brookside pattern. The design features a rounded bowl decorated with a cross-hatch and vertical leaf-like wedge cut pattern that captures and refracts light brilliantly. The stem is faceted with a hexagonal or octagonal structure, leading down to a wide, stable circular base. A notable feature is the original blue and silver rectangular 'Marquis by Waterford' adhesive label still attached to the foot, indicating the item may be in like-new or unused condition. The crystal exhibits high clarity without visible clouding, chips, or significant scratching, though minor shelf wear on the base is typical for pieces of this age. The Brookside collection was primarily manufactured in Germany or Slovenia starting in the late 1990s, offering a more contemporary and accessible alternative to the traditional Irish-made Waterford sets while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and lead content. The cut patterns are crisp and uniform, suggesting high-quality mold-blown and machine-cut production techniques. This piece is representative of late 20th-century to early 21st-century fine dining glasswork.
