Waterford Religious 5-1/2-Inch Cross

Waterford Religious 5-1/2-Inch Cross Review



Waterford Religious 5-1/2-Inch Cross Feature

  • 5-1/2-Inch cross
  • Crystal
  • Waterford
  • Polishing with lint-free cloth maintains clarity of crystal surfaces
  • Introduced November 2003
Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years, and they have drawn those centuries of experience to design pieces that often carry rich symbolic meaning. Waterford's 5-1/2-inch Religious cross is an inspired piece of devotional iconography, a thoughtful gift for commemorating important Christian occasions such as christenings, confirmations, or Easter. Other Waterford crystal crosses include the Medieval, Celtic, and 8-inch Standing Crosses.

The Religious cross rises up from a small, two-tiered pedestal. Both the upright and the arms of the cross are gently contoured, and the three finials end in three-pointed tips; repetition of the number three is symbolic of the Trinity. Sprays of leaf cuts fan out from the center of the cross, simulating light, and an eight-rayed star sits at the central junction of the cross. The size of the cross makes it suitable for a night table or small devotional altar.

To preserve the clarity of crystal and to avoid scratches, do not wash Waterford crystal in the dishwasher; harsh detergent and excessive heat could permanently etch surface of glass. Wash with a mild liquid soap in warm (not hot) water. 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. Edges and rims are delicate; do not store upside down or place upside down 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 Religious cross measures 5-1/2 by 3-3/4 inches. --Garland Withers Standing 5-1/2-inch tall, the Religious Cross is a timeless symbol of faith and tradition. Featuring starburst and fanned cuts, this beautiful crystal collectible is a radiant expression of belief and looks beautiful on any desk, vanity or shelf. Combine quarter cup ammonia with a mild lemon detergent. Rinse in clean water and air dry on a rack. Clean vases and decanters by filling them half-full with moderately hot water, a small amount of mild detergent, two tablespoons of white vinegar or ammonia and 1/2 cup uncooked rice. Swirl the rice around for a few minutes to remove residue.
