This Waterford Crystal & Brass Lismore 2 Piece Hurricane Lamp, was handmade in Ireland , from the purest crystal . It is part of Waterford's Crystal & Brass Collection. It is acid etched with the Waterford name & hallmark on the crystal Lismore piece. On the bottom of the brass part , the Waterford name & hallmark is embossed in silver. The green and gold sticker is also attached.

This Brass & Crystal Hurricane Lamp is BRAND NEW . The light reflects beautifully through Lismore's pattern of exceptional beauty . The hand polished brass is of the highest quality . It is also hand lacquered to prevent tarnishing . This is a very heavy item - over 5 pounds with the box of votives.

This hurricane lamp, when put together is 8" tall by 4" wide by 3 1/4" across the bottom. The top part is approx. 5" high and the bottom is 3 1/4" high . The crystal is 1/4" thick . It comes in it's gray Waterford Crystal & Brass Collection box, with the top wrapped in Waterford's signature tissue paper (the brass bottom is contained in it's own box in a separate compartment). This gorgeous lamp is very versatile . The original paperwork is also included. You can use tapers, tea lights or votive candles in it. Each candle type will cast a soft and romantic glow. I've paired this special hurricane with a box of Waterford votive candles in the Radiant scent. T are 6 wonderful smelling votives in the box ~ red & black currants, plus cedarwood... These votives have a burn time of 15 hours each. The longer the burn time , the better the candle. These really are the "best of the best".

The Lismore pattern is Waterford 's best selling pattern . This pattern was introduced on October 23, 1952 and was created by Mirek Havel . It is, indeed, a classic . It is used for stemware, vases, plates, bowls, cutlery handles, etc . Besides being Waterford 's 1st modern Director of Design , Mr. Havel was one of the three original people to reopen Waterford Crystal in 1947 . After WWII, Mirek left his native Czechoslovakia , w he was already well known for his work with crystal. Waterford Crystal had been closed since 1847, due to crushing taxes imposed by England . He originally came to Ireland for 3 months. Waterford was nothing more than a small green shack on a dirt road. T also were no other artisans besides him. Mirek had to go into the Irish countryside to f ind craftsman to train. He loved Ireland & Waterford so much , the "Maestro" (as he is known) stayed with Waterford for over 40 years until his retirement in 1990. He helped to shape & guide Waterford Crystal into the world class company it is today.

Please supersize then maximize the pictures. They are an important part of the description.

Most crystal companies use 24% lead crystal, while Waterford uses 33% lead crystal. This is what makes Waterford crystal weigh more & have that special brilliance which makes it "head & shoulders" above the rest.

NOTE : Shipping Discount doesn't apply to this item because of it's size, weight and fragile nature.

Now for the fine print necessitated by all the changes in eBay: I have always refunded excess shipping back to my customers, as my repeat buyers know. The PRICE OF SHIPPING has MANY FACTORS. You not only have the weight of the item , but of the Waterford box it came with it (if it's available), the bubble wrap, peanuts, air bags & the outer box I send your item in. I only use packing materials that are clean & new, as are the boxes. I also have a small handling fee of $1 to $2.50 per shipment. This is due to the fact that I spend 10 to 30 minutes (sometimes more) packaging your "treasure." I send several personal emails along the way, from payment to shipping. I'll happily leave feedback for you once you leave it for me....
