Know before you buy
Yes, these pieces are authentic Waterford Crystal produced before the collection was retired. As with any secondary market purchase, we recommend verifying the signature or acid-etched Waterford mark on the base of each glass to confirm its origin.
The collection includes three main styles: the Highball stands at 6 3/8 inches, the Martini glass measures 7 5/8 inches, and the All Purpose Wine glass is 8 5/8 inches tall.
Because these are fine crystal pieces with colored accents, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher to prevent potential clouding, scratching, or damage to the vibrant polka dot pattern.
The colors are integrated into the crystal design, providing a durable and vibrant finish. To maintain their luster, keep them away from harsh abrasives and store them in a stable environment to prevent chipping.
Absolutely. The playful polka dot pattern acts as a contemporary accent that pairs beautifully with traditional clear crystal. Using them as statement pieces alongside neutral glassware is an excellent way to add a modern, colorful pop to your table setting.
