Waterford Crystal Seahorse 6-Inch Rose Bowl

Waterford Crystal Seahorse 6-Inch Rose Bowl
The opulent 6-inch Seahorse rose bowl is part of Waterford's second edition Classic Crystal Collection; its smaller scale pairs it well with the matching Seahorse 8-inch candlesticks or Seahorse 6-inch bowl. Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years, and the centuries of craftsmanship are clearly displayed in this series inspired by the seahorse, a creature with ancient, mythical significance. The Seahorse pattern is based on the crest adopted more than a decade ago to represent the Irish seaside location of the Waterford company.

This spherical bowl is designed to showcase a nosegay of roses or other showy, short-stemmed flowers; the narrow opening holds the stems bunched together so that the blossoms hold a bouquet shape. It is cut with swirling wedge cuts which are in turn punctuated with smaller olive cuts for a sense of upward motion. Between the wedges are fields of raised diamond shapes, with modified rosettes encircling the smooth rim of the bowl to symbolize the trident of Neptune, Roman god of the sea. A small 16-rayed star is cut into the base of the bowl.

To preserve its clarity, do not wash Waterford crystal 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. 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 bowl measures 6 inches in diameter, 5-1/2 inches deep, and 6 inches tall including the base. --Garland Withers
