Lismore is the definitive, classic pattern everyone thinks of when they think of Waterford crystal. Heavy and lavishly cut to catch and reflect light brilliantly, the Lismore eight-inch bowl, introduced in autumn 2005, makes a superb accent piece in any home or executive office. The footed bowl dramatically curves up and outward, then in again, dazzling with the diamond and wedge pattern at the bottom of the bowl, clear at the top. Elegantly gift-boxed, the five-inch-high bowl makes an ideal presentation piece for displaying floating flowers, fresh fruit, or help-yourself sweets.

An enduring beauty by crystal designer Miroslav Havel, Lismore was first introduced to the world in 1952. Waterford reintroduced Lismore in 2002 to celebrate a reign of fifty years as one of the most popular crystal patterns in the world, and continues to add new pieces. Like all fine full-lead crystal, the Lismore bowl should be washed by hand to preserve its unique clarity. --Ann Bieri The Lismore pattern, first created in 1950 by Mirek Havel, has won-over three generations of collectors. The patterns simplicity of style remains fresh and balanced over 50 years after its introduction. Beloved by three generations of Waterford collectors, Lismore is, indeed, a classic. The Lismore 8 inch bowl is a logical expansion into the Lismore collection, being functional and still holds the prestige of the Lismore pattern.
