Waterford Crystal Place Setting

Waterford Crystal adds elegance to any table setting.

This display at the House of Waterford retail store shows how crystal enhances even a simple place setting.

Each beverage -- water, white wine, red wine -- has a specific crystal goblet or vessel dedicated to its use.

The small, round crystal orb (center left) can be used for multiple purposes:

  • set a tea light inside it to softly illuminate the table
  • use it to hold dip
  • use it as a finger bowl
  • use it for nuts
  • use it to hold a goldfish!
How would you put it to work to enhance a place setting?
