Unlike lightweight glass, lead crystal is heavy. When holding a piece up to the light it should be perfectly clear – a silver...y-white. Regular glass produces a yellow or green tint. The bases of most Waterford crystal have the word "Waterford" etched on the underside.
My Waterford is older, vintage (purchased in 1969), and the Waterford watermark authenticating it is found etched on the base. Use your magnifying glass, it's there!
I would make the claim these glasses are in perfect, mint condition, but since perfection doesn't exist, I will claim they are as near perfect as any reasonable person would expect. Really, they are very fine indeed!

Due to the nature of hand blown and hand cut crystal there will be slight variations from glass to glass. All sizes are approximant and each glass may have a slight variation in weight. Air bubbles can appear in hand blown glass and are not considered a flaw.MFRB
