Cut-glass bud vase from the Lismore Essence collection by Waterford Crystal. An elegant, slender form with an elongated neck to hold the stem of a single bloom. The rounded, weighted base provides structured beauty in radiant fine crystal. A giftable piece to bring sophistication to a table, desk or mantel. Lismore Essence glassware has a more slender, modern profile yet retains the brilliance and clarity of Waterford's traditional Lismore collection. Hand-crafted from fine crystal glass, Essence shows to dazzling effect Lismore's signature diamond and wedge cut-glass patterns. Lismore is one of the most recognisable cut-glass patterns in the Waterford archive. In 1952, Chief Designer Miroslav Havel's reputation was forged with the creation of the Lismore pattern, earning him the title 'the maestro of crystal'. The timeless pattern is inspired by the gothic architecture of Lismore Castle in Ireland. Over the years, Lismore has endured quite the design journey, but the brilliance of the upright wedge cuts and diamond cuts remain the same.
