Waterford Crystal Lismore Creamer and Sugar Bowl Set

This is a matching two-piece crystal service set comprising a footed sugar bowl and a cream pitcher, identified as the iconic Lismore pattern by Waterford. The items are crafted from high-quality lead crystal, characterized by their exceptional clarity, brilliance, and heavy weight. Both pieces feature the signature Lismore design, which consists of deep, hand-cut wedge cuts and diamond-shaped cross-hachures that create a prismatic light-reflecting effect. The sugar bowl has a squat, bulbous body with a wide opening, while the creamer features a graceful pouring spout and an arched, applied glass handle. Both vessels are supported by a decorative, radial-cut pedestal foot with a scalloped edge. The craftsmanship is indicative of Mid-Century to late 20th-century production, a period when Waterford was at its peak of Irish manufacturing. The condition appears to be excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding (sickness) in the glass. The edges of the cuts remain sharp, and the base shows minimal shelf wear. Authentic pieces typically bear an acid-etched 'Waterford' stencil mark on the underside of the foot, though it is not visible in this specific angle. This set represents classic traditional design and remains one of the most collectible patterns in fine glassware due to its timeless aesthetic and superior build quality.
