Waterford Crystal 'Lismore' 4-Inch Flared Votive Candle Holders (Pair)

This pair of matched votive candle holders is crafted from high-quality, heavy-weight lead crystal, showcasing the clarity and brilliance characteristic of premium glassmaking. Each piece features a flared, trumpet-like silhouette that terminates in a dramatic sawtooth or 'marquise' rim with sharp, pointed peaks. The body of each holder is decorated with deep vertical wedge cuts that originate from a thick, stable base and fan outward toward the rim, creating a prismatic effect when illuminated. These specific patterns and the overall form are indicative of the iconic Lismore pattern by Waterford. The construction is solid and heavy, suggesting high lead content. In terms of condition, the glass appears bright and clear without visible clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome. There are no major chips visible on the delicate pointed rim, which is the most common area for damage. The bases appear level, and the craftsmanship reflects mid-to-late 20th-century production standards of precision and symmetry. While no acid-etched maker's mark is immediately legible in the photograph, the weight and cut pattern are consistent with authentic Waterford exports. These items likely date from the 1970s to the 1990s and represent classic Irish crystal artistry.
