Lismore Pattern:Synonymous with luxury and fine living, the Waterford Crystal Lismore pattern has
been Waterford\'s pre-eminent design for 60 years.
Influenced by the 18th century crystal designs of Waterford founders George and William Penrose,Waterford Crystal designer Miroslav Havel created the Lismore pattern in 1953. The pattern featuresrefined diamond cuts- a signature of early Penrose designs- and a symmetrical series of upward flowingwedgecuts. The clarity of the crystal combined with the refraction of light through the cuttings createdwhat the world now treasures- the enduring allure of Lismore.
Derived from the Gaelic \"lios more\", meaning \"great ringfort\", Lismore was inspired by the gothic architecture ofthe 800 year-old Lismore Castle in County Waterford, Ireland. Ancestral home to England\'s Dukes ofDevonshire since the 18th century, the famed castle overlooks the beautiful Muster countryside of theIrish coast.
