This deluxe lidded crystal biscuit barrel–that’s “cookie jar” in American English–is a part of Waterford’s Lismore series. Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years and has named many of its patterns after towns in Waterford and other neighboring counties. The Lismore design features repeating leaf motifs for a full of life, natural look.

A 16-rayed star is cut into the underside of the lid and echoed at the bottom of the jar; the lid deal with is faceted with hexagonal planes. The upper rim of the jar is ringed with half-leaf shapes pointing downward, toward a scintillating ring of diamond wedge cuts. Lismore’s signature elongated leaf cuts alternate in an up-and-down ring beneath the diamond shapes. A natural pairing with this biscuit barrel is the elegant Lismore sandwich tray; other matching serving pieces in the Lismore series include a pitcher, a carafe, and square and pedestal bowls.

To preserve its clarity, wash the biscuit barrel with a mild liquid soap and warm (not hot) water; do not wash in dishwasher as this may permanently etch surface of crystal. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit at the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will assist eliminate the deposit. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Do not store upside down on its rim or stand on its rim on a draining board. Crystal can focal point sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The biscuit barrel measures 5 inches in diameter by 7 inches tall (lid included). –Garland Withers
