Know before you buy
The Essence collection features a more modern, slender profile with a lighter wall construction compared to the original, heavier Lismore design. While it retains the signature diamond and wedge cuts, the overall aesthetic is refined for a more contemporary feel.
Yes, the oversized bowl and 13.5-ounce capacity provide ample room for large ice spheres or cubes, making them ideal for whiskey served neat or on the rocks.
To maintain the clarity and brilliance of the fine crystal, we recommend hand-washing these glasses in warm, soapy water and drying them immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the heat and detergents can dull the finish over time.
While they feature a lighter wall construction than traditional Waterford pieces, they still retain the comforting, substantial weight characteristic of high-quality, hand-crafted crystal.
Absolutely. The 13.5-ounce capacity and wide bowl make them versatile enough for a variety of cocktails, such as an Old Fashioned, Negroni, or any spirit-forward drink that benefits from aeration.
