Since the birth of the company some one hundred and fifty years ago, the concept of detailed and intricate cutting has been at the heart of the image of Waterford Crystal. This is why Eclipse is such a refreshing departure from the norm. Pure, uncluttered, simple elegance are the by words of this stunning design. But could you call it ‘plain’? Never in a million years. There is, in fact, cutting on this pattern, but it’s so subtle it almost goes unnoticed. It’s in the form of a broad cut through the two facing sides of the length of the stem. If you turn the glass through ninety degrees you can see how the facets of the stem plays a trick on the eye and make it look like a completely different glass. For elegant perfection in contemporary crystal, you can do no better than Eclipse by Waterford Crystal.
