Lismore Style Full-Lead Cut Crystal Trumpet Vase
This item is a decorative trumpet-shaped vase crafted from heavy, high-quality full-lead clear crystal. The piece features a classic flared rim that tapers down to a weighted, multi-faceted base. The exterior is adorned with intricate deep wedge cuts in a cross-hatch or diamond pattern at the base, ascending into elongated vertical leaf-like or olive cuts that create a sense of movement and refract light brilliantly. This specific style is reminiscent of the iconic Lismore pattern by Waterford, a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century luxury glassware. The glass exhibits exceptional clarity and a high refractive index, typical of leaded crystal. No visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratching were noted in the image, though minor surface wear on the underside of the base (shelf wear) is expected given its age. While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the photo, the precision of the geometry suggests high-end manufacturing, either from a European heritage house or a high-quality American maker such as Lenox or Gorham. The craftsmanship is evident in the sharpness of the wheel-cut facets and the substantial thickness of the vessel walls.
