Waterford Clarendon Cobalt Blue Cut to Clear Crystal Goblets – Set of 4

Deep cobalt crystal cut to brilliance. This set of four Waterford Clarendon goblets shows off the Irish house’s signature balance of heft, clarity, and light play. The cobalt overlay has been cut back to reveal crisp facets, throwing spark and shadow at every turn. At just over eight inches tall, they serve equally well for wine or for display, where the saturated color and faceted bowl command attention. Estate-kept, with acid-etched Waterford marks confirming authenticity.

Waterford Crystal, founded in Ireland in 1783, has long been regarded as the pinnacle of cut glass artistry. Clarendon, one of its late 20th-century triumphs, is part of a family of cut-to-clear patterns created by layering jewel-toned crystal over clear and then hand-cutting through the overlay. The cobalt blue variation, prized for its bold contrast, remains the most collected. Its faceted bowls, long stems, and luminous balance embody Waterford’s promise of luxury married to function. The acid-etched mark guarantees authenticity, and collectors recognize Clarendon by its distinctive teardrop oval cuts and strong diamond base. Four together make an instant statement of refinement and Irish heritage.
