<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Made in Waterford, Ireland, from 1729 to 1851 and from 1951 to the present, it is characterized by thick walls, deep geometric cutting, and bright polish. Early Waterford glass had a smoky, bluish gray color, considered a drawback (now a collectors item), so clear crystal was produced after 1830. Chandeliers with diamond-cut or scalloped branches, wall lamps, sconces, bowls, and vases were characteristic. Most of the glass prior to 1783 was blown glass, cutting was adopted in that year.</div>Mermonkey
