<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alex473, post: 9453710, member: 81487&quot;]Hi bercrystal, thanks for the advice! They actually don&#039;t have the Waterford mark, but my understanding is that that was introduced in the 1970s or 1980s, so crystal before that won&#039;t have it. At any rate, I&#039;m fairly convinced these are authentic since I inherited them from directly from a family member, and she told me that they were a wedding gift bought at the Waterford factory in Ireland (unfortunately, she is no longer living, so I can&#039;t follow up about the exact year, but it would have been in the first half of the 1950s). There were originally 40 glasses (8 each of 5 different types of glasses). In a twist, however, I think those other 32 glasses might be a different pattern (they look kind of like <a href="https://www.replacements.com/crystal-waterford-crystal-boyne-cut-foot/c/110901" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.replacements.com/crystal-waterford-crystal-boyne-cut-foot/c/110901" rel="nofollow">Boyne</a> or <a href="https://www.replacements.com/crystal-waterford-crystal-adare-cut/c/110879" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.replacements.com/crystal-waterford-crystal-adare-cut/c/110879" rel="nofollow">Adare</a> or <a href="https://www.replacements.com/crystal-waterford-crystal-donegal-cut/c/110930" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.replacements.com/crystal-waterford-crystal-donegal-cut/c/110930" rel="nofollow">Donegal</a>, maybe, because they have the diamond-ish pattern on the bottom without the upright cut, and they have the ball shape on the stem--apologies for the description since I don&#039;t know the correct technical terms!). I think the other four glass types are cordial, tumbler, champagne/sherbet, and either water or wine). Are there any patterns that were available in the early 1950s this might match that might have a glass that matches as well?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
