Lights.com—Waterford Crystal Lamp
The Waterford Crystal company is most well-known for its timeless decorative crystal designs. The company was founded in 1783 with a singular mission of crafting the world's most elegant drinking vessels. As the Waterford brand name grew to become a household name, the company executives decided to expand the product line.
Nowadays, the Waterford name is not only synonymous with beautiful crystal but also with gorgeous lamps, flatware, clocks, linens, and more. One of the most famous Waterford lamps is the 29.5 inch Florence Court tableware lamp. The base of this lamp resembles a bud vase in its slimness and refractive luminescence. Yet what makes this lamp stand head and shoulders above other similarly beautiful Waterford items is the accent of silver, which counterpoints the white shade.
Exploring Waterford Crystal Lamps
Another great Waterford lamp is the 29 inch Belline table lamp. The gorgeous polished brash finish is a surprising counterpoint to an otherwise understated piece. The base of the Belline lamp is urn-shaped and cut in a diamond pattern for maximum refractivity. If you are looking for a cool lamp--a good companion piece for a "hot weather summer"--the Belline is an excellent choice.
Although Waterford crystal is not considered a good conductor of electricity, you should still take care to treat your Waterford crystal lamp as you would any other lamp. Keep the cord and outlet away from water, and stand your lamp on a sturdy surface. Waterford crystal is rather rugged, but it may chip or crack if dropped from a height, given that the crystal itself is rather dense.
