Product Description Waterford Lismore Essence is the next generation of the classic Lismore pattern, retaining the brilliance and clarity of Lismore, while incorporating a more slender, modern profile. A generous oversized bowl and thinner wall make the Lismore Essence Stemless Red Wine the perfect vessel to unlock the flavor and aroma of red wine; accentuating the subtlety of Beaujolais or magnifying the impact of flavorful Chianti or Rioja. Lismore's signature pattern of diamond and wedge cuts combine with modern styling to create a sense of occasion whenever you fill it. Amazon.com Lismore is the definitive, classic pattern everyone thinks of when they think of Waterford crystal. Lismore Nouveau streamlines the heavier, more traditional Lismore wine glasses with bowls that curve directly out of the long pulled stem. Taking the contemporary look one step further are these new stemless crystal glasses that fit beautifully in the palm of the hand. The two in this pair, each holding 12 ounces, are specifically designed for the enjoyment of light-to-medium red wines such as Pinot Noir and Burgundy. The stemless form induces a more casual approach to wine appreciation, and certainly excites conversation. Handsomely boxed, this pair makes an inspired gift for a couple who embraces the newest trends. Like all fine crystal, these wine glasses should be washed by hand in moderately hot, soapy water, then rinsed and dried thoroughly to protect the porous surface from harsh detergents. A crystal glass should be stored upright, not on its delicate rim, to ensure longevity for generations to come. --Ann Bieri
