Know before you buy
The Essence collection features a more slender, modern profile with thinner walls compared to the traditional, heavier Lismore design. While it retains the iconic diamond and wedge cuts, the overall aesthetic is lighter and more refined.
No, these glasses must be hand washed only. Because they are crafted from fine crystal, hand washing helps prevent clouding, scratching, and potential breakage.
Each glass has a capacity of 13.5 ounces. This size is ideal for serving whiskey neat, on the rocks, or for classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Negroni.
While the walls are thinner than the original Lismore pattern to provide a more delicate feel, they still maintain the substantial, comforting weight expected from hand-crafted Waterford crystal. They are designed to feel balanced and durable in the hand.
The oversized bowl is specifically designed to allow more room for your drink to breathe. This helps enhance the aroma and flavor profile of fine spirits, providing a better sensory experience than a standard, narrower glass.
