How do you identify Waterford crystal acid marks?

How do you identify Waterford crystal acid marks?
To identify Waterford acid marks, hold your piece up to natural light and try using a magnifying glass. The maker began adding its name in Gothic characters to its crystal wares in 1950. In 1986, the acid marks changed to script lettering. Around 2000, Waterford incorporated its seahorse logo into the acid marks. Pieces produced before 1950 will normally not bear acid marks.
