Waterford Elegance Glassware

by Waterford

Crystal stemware from Irish glassmaker Waterford, in the Elegance pattern.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Selected as part of a wedding registry meant to last a lifetime, though the commenter flags it suits occasional use better than daily dishwasher-safe glassware.

What owners say

The commenter describes their Waterford Elegance crystal glassware as stunning, though as light drinkers they note they might have chosen something dishwasher-safe with a shorter stem for more everyday use if starting over. They still plan to keep the set for life.

    We did Waterford Elegance glassware, which is stunning. We aren't big drinkers, otherwise I likely would have chosen something dishwasher safe with a shorter stem for more regular use. We do plan to have them for life though!
