Waterford Crystal 'Marquis' Brookside Taper Candlesticks

This is a matching pair of elegant taper candle holders crafted from high-quality lead crystal, identified as the Brookside pattern from the Waterford Marquis line. Each candlestick stands approximately 6 to 8 inches in height, featuring a slender, elongated stem that transitions into a flared, trumpet-shaped cup designed to hold a standard taper candle. The crystal body is decorated with distinctive long, sweeping vertical wedge cuts that mimic leaf or petal motifs, interspersed with cross-hatched details that enhance light refraction. The base is a wide, circular foot providing stability, which is clear and undecorated to emphasize the brilliance of the faceted upper portion. The construction shows high-clarity glass typical of Waterford manufacturing, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding; however, there is original retail adhesive residue on the base of the foreground piece, suggesting they were recently sourced from a secondary market or estate. The craftsmanship reflects the mass-market luxury appeal of the Marquis line, balancing ornate cutting with a modern, slim silhouette.
