How To Identify Waterford Crystal Patterns
Lismore Goblet
Did you know that there is a vast variety of Waterford Crystal patterns and designs and that the first were that of the Lismore Collection, and the most popular. These patterns were introduced in the 1950s and named after little villages in Ireland and Irish girl's names.
Identifying Waterford Crystal patterns can be difficult at times due to various factors. Including cross cutting, uprights, rossettes etc. Sometimes the cuts on the bases come in sixteen or eight point starbursts and depending on date known as the early period, the colors were simply stunning.
Most Waterford Crystal designs and patterns have one thing in common on the majority, and that is the diamond shapes that remain when the edge cutting is performed.
For example: here is a picture of a Lismore pattern, notice how the tiny diamond shapes are highlighted in this Goblet, between the cuts, when the product is completed. I will be adding more patterns and designs soon, so bookmark this page. If you're thinking of purchasing Waterford Crystal in the future or the possibility that you may have a Waterford Crystal Fake in your home, see this information http://waterfordcrystalappraisal.info/WaterfordCrystalFakesReport.html
