Collection: Waterford Crystal Wine Glasses

Furthermore, age and provenance contribute to value. Older, vintage Waterford Crystal wine glasses, particularly those from the mid-20th century when Waterford's revival was in full swing, can be highly sought after. Glasses with a clear history of ownership, or those from particularly notable collections, might also attract a premium. The type and size of the wine glass itself also matter; a large red wine goblet or an unusually shaped hock glass in a desirable pattern might be more valuable than a standard claret glass. In the UK, you'll find Waterford Crystal wine glasses for sale across various platforms, each impacting their realised value. New sets can be purchased directly from Waterford or authorised retailers at fixed RRPs. The secondary market, comprising online marketplaces like eBay UK, specialist antique and crystal dealers, and auction houses such as Sworders or Denhams, reflects varying price points. Auction results can range from tens of pounds for individual common pieces with some wear, to hundreds of pounds for sets in excellent condition or rare individual glasses. For example, a single Lismore claret wine glass might sell for around £20-£40, while a set of six in a less common pattern or exceptional condition could easily reach £150-£400 or more.
