Originally a champagne saucer, but is large enough for a bon bon or comport. Extremely Labour intensive to produce, which is why these items are so buying expensive to reproduce. The skills required to make these pieces take years of training, it is hard to conceive that every piece is hand cut on a diamond wheel and then polished. You must have the skill to cut the glass without going right the way through.

Waterford has the highest lead content for crystal without saturation of the glass, this gives it the unique blueish colour that refract the light.
