Where You'll See Waterford Crystal
Waterford's chandeliers hang in well-known buildings like Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey, and the Kennedy Center, and they have made the 2,668 crystals for the famous New Year's Eve Ball that is dropped each year in New York City's Times Square.

Sporting trophies are also crafted by Waterford, such as the Masters Series crystal shield trophies that are awarded to the winner of each of the nine men's professional tennis Masters Series tournaments, the AFCA National Championship Trophy that is awarded to the US college football team which finishes the season at the top of the Coaches Poll, and a representation of the Ashes urn that is presented to the winners of the Test cricket series between England and Australia.

This charming sugar and cream set is part of Waterford's Lismore series; they seem as if they belong on the table of a sumptuous country inn. Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years and has named many of its patterns after towns in Waterford and other neighboring counties. The Lismore design features repeating leaf motifs for a lively, natural look.

Small 16-rayed stars are cut into the underside of the bases of both bowl and creamer. Lismore's signature elongated leaf cuts alternate in an up-and-down ring above a scintillating ring of diamond wedge cuts. The creamer's swan's-neck handle is flanked by two especially long cuts for a pleasing symmetry. With the exception of the creamer's pouring spout, the upper rims are smoothly squared off. The set would make a beautiful grouping with the elegant Lismore sandwich tray and biscuit barrel; other serving pieces in the Lismore series include a pitcher, a carafe, and square and pedestal bowls. All make lovely crystal gifts.

To preserve their clarity, wash the sugar bowl and creamer with a mild liquid soap and warm (not hot) water; do not wash in dishwasher as this may permanently etch surface of crystal. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit on the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will help remove the deposit. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Do not store upside down on the rims or stand on rims on a draining board. Crystal can focus sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The sugar bowl measures 4 by 4 inches; the creamer is 4-1/2-inches tall and 4-1/2 inches wide, spout to handle.
