Set of Eight (8) tall wine glasses
Height: 7 1/2" (19.1cm)

From one of Europe's most celebrated crystal houses, these Killarney pattern hock wine glasses showcase the intricate diamond and fan cutting that distinguished this exclusive collection during its 17-year production run. Waterford's Killarney pattern, produced from 1999-2016, is now permanently discontinued, making authentic sets increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate the complex geometric cutting that creates Waterford's signature prismatic brilliance.

Each hock glass demonstrates the hand-cutting mastery that requires years of apprenticeship at Waterford's Irish crystal workshops. The pattern's distinctive crosshatch diamond cuts combined with radiating fan motifs create elegant light refraction, while the tall, slender bowl design is specifically crafted for white wines, particularly German Rieslings and Rhine wines. The substantial crystal weight and precision rim enhance the wine tasting experience while displaying the wine's color beautifully.
