Know before you buy
Yes, these are authentic pieces from the original Clarion collection produced by Waterford Crystal. Because the line is no longer in production, these items are sourced from secondary markets and private collections.
These glasses are not dishwasher safe. To maintain their brilliance and prevent clouding or breakage, we recommend hand washing them gently in warm, soapy water and drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Yes, the Clarion collection is crafted from traditional lead crystal. This material is what gives the glassware its signature weight and exceptional light refraction.
No, these glasses are not freezer safe. Rapid temperature changes can cause thermal shock, which may lead to cracking or shattering of the crystal.
The Clarion pattern features precisely cut vertical lines that run along the body of the glass. The design is finished without any trim, offering a clean, minimalist aesthetic that feels smooth to the touch.
While the Clarion collection is elegant enough for formal dining, its durable, substantial weight makes it versatile for elevated everyday use. However, because they are delicate crystal, they require careful handling compared to standard glassware.
