Waterford Crystal Colleen Encore Wine Glass

This item is a Colleen Encore fine lead crystal wine glass manufactured by Waterford. Based on the packaging label, the item is produced in Slovenia, which is consistent with modern Waterford production after the closure of the original Kilbarry factory in Ireland. The Colleen Encore pattern is a late 20th-century reimagining of the classic 1953 'Colleen' pattern, characterized by its distinctive olive cuts on the bowl and a faceted, thumbprint-cut stem. The glass features a rounded, balloon-style bowl with a series of wide, oval-shaped cuts that create a diamond-like refraction of light. The stem is multi-faceted with a central knop, transitioning into a stable, circular flat base. This specific piece is identified by the model number 135833W and UPC 024258372733. As an 'Encore' edition, it represents a more contemporary iteration of Celtic-inspired luxury stemware. The packaging is in good condition, showing only minor edge wear on the charcoal gray cardboard box and no visible staining on the adhesive label, suggesting the contents are likely in mint, unused condition. Waterford crystal is renowned for its high lead content, which provides exceptional clarity, a heavy hand-feel, and a resonant ring when struck.
