How do you identify Waterford crystal marks?
1 Answer

To identify Waterford crystal marks, place your piece in an area that receives plenty of natural light and use a magnifying glass to examine it. Waterford first introduced markings in 1950. These initial marks display the brand name in Gothic lettering. A more contemporary script font replaced the original markings in 1986. Pieces produced in 2000 and beyond will feature a seahorse mark along with the brand name. Find a collection of Waterford crystal wares on 1stDibs.
