This is a high-quality red wine glass from the ‘Vintage Tasting Collection’ produced for the Marquis range by Waterford Crystal.
The glass is simple and elegant, with a capacious rounded bowl that sits on an elongated straight stem. The latter widens out to merge with the plain, flat foot. This is marked on the underside with the words ‘MARQUIS BY WATERFORD’.
The details for this wine glass in the 1998 Waterford catalogue are as follows:
Burgundy-style wines, made from grapes such as pinot noir, gamay beaujolais or even sangiovese tend to be medium-bodied with bright flavours of red fruit and spice. The vintage light red wine glass with its balloon-shaped bowl helps the wine to ‘open up’ in the glass. The design increases the wine’s surface area contact with the air, releasing an exquisite bouquet of flowers and fruit. Luminously clear crystal showcases the light ruby colour of these wines.
It has a height of approximately 21.7cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 8.1cm and across the foot of about 8.5cm.
It has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 650ml.
It has an unwrapped weight of 250g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
