Waterford Crystal Seahorse Champagne Flute

This slender flute has a deceptive, satisfying weight in the hand, and it rings with the pure tone that indicates the finest crystal. It is cut with undulating arc cuts, punctuated with smaller olive cuts and tiny raised diamond shapes; modified rosettes encircle the glass below the rim to symbolize the trident of Neptune, Roman god of the sea. A 16-rayed star is cut into the base of the flute. Other glassware in the Seahorse pattern include martini glasses, champagne saucer goblets, and double old fashioned cocktail glasses.

To preserve the clarity of crystal and to avoid scratches, do not wash in the dishwasher; harsh detergent and excessive heat could permanently etch surface of glass. Wash with a mild liquid soap in warm (not hot) water. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit on the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will help remove the deposit. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Edges and rims are delicate; do not store upside down or place upside down on a draining board. When washing or drying, do not wipe bowl of flute while twisting stem in opposite direction. Crystal can focus sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The champagne flute is 9-1/2 inches tall with a 2-3/4-inch base. --Garland Withers
