Waterford Crystal
Lismore Pattern - introduced on October
23, 1952 was created by Mirek Havel. The
pattern's simplicity of style remains
fresh and balanced 50 years after its
introduction. Beloved by three generations
of Waterford collectors, Lismore is,
indeed, a classic.
Lismore takes its name
from an ancient village that dates back to
the early 7th century. Originally called
Lios Mor Mocuda, by the 10th century
Lismore has become on of Europe's great
centers of learning. Destroyed by the
Normans in 1173, Lismore is once again a
beautiful village. A prominent feature is
Lismore Castle, built by King John in 1185
and the Irish seat of the Duke of
Devonshire since 1748. |
