Cheap Waterford Crystal Celebration Joy Champagne Flutes, Set of 2 (Kitchen) Price

Long sweeping cuts reminiscent of cat-tails in the wind or, perhaps, like fireworks represent the exuberance of joyful feelings; this repeating motif encircles the bell of the flute. Beneath them, just above the stem, a field of diamond cuts represents individuals gathered together to share their mutual joy. The flutes are sold as a pair to emphasize their role as tasting glasses; when clinked against another glass in a toast, the Celebration Friendship flutes ring with the pure tone that indicates the finest crystal.

To preserve the clarity of crystal and to avoid scratches, do not wash in the dishwasher; harsh detergent and excessive heat could permanently etch surface of glass. Wash with a mild liquid soap in warm (not hot) water. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit on the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will help remove the deposit. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Edges and rims are delicate; do not store upside down or place upside down on a draining board. When washing or drying, do not wipe bowl of flute while twisting stem in opposite direction. Crystal can focus sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The champagne flutes are 10-1/2 inches tall with stable 2-3/4-inch bases. --Garland Withers
