Description from the seller

Elegant set of 23 lead crystal glasses, hand-blown and hand-cut by the prestigious Irish firm Waterford, in the coveted and classic 'Clare' pattern. This design stands out for its intricate geometric diamond cutting at the base of the bowl, finished with fine vertical cuts in the shape of leaves and a spectacular six-sided faceted stem. The lot is ideally structured as an exclusive service for 4 or 5 guests, complemented with additional courtesy pieces and safeguards for future replacements.

Lot breakdown (23 pieces):
6 Water Glasses: ~15.2 cm high.
6 Champagne Flutes: ~18.4 cm high.
5 Wine Glasses: ~14.3 cm high.
6 Liqueur / Port / Sherry Glasses: 13 cm high.

Condition and Authenticity:
Excellent vintage condition, no chips, nicks, or cloudiness from washing. The crystal retains its characteristic brilliance, a substantial weight, and a very high acoustic resonance to touch (typical of high-lead content crystal from the brand). The pieces do not bear the acid-etched brand mark because they belonged to batches originally labeled with the brand’s gold sticker, removed during washing. Full authenticity verified and cross-checked using official catalogue dimensions, weight, and the identical geometric pattern across all four service scales.
