To mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, Waterford is presenting the US250 Anniversary Collection, a commemorative body of work created to celebrate this historic moment through the enduring language of crystal.
The collections brings together handmade Mastercraft sculptures, commemorative drinkware and collectibles.
Two extraordinary Mastercraft pieces anchor the collection, mouth-blown and hand-cut at the House of Waterford in Ireland. Produced in strictly limited quantities, the US250 Eagle Sculpture and US250 Capitol Sculpture translate American icons into sculptural crystal through artisanal techniques handed down over generations and refined for today. Each piece is individually numbered and finished with the Waterford, Mastercraft, and USA250 brandmarks, affirming a place as a rare object and art piece for history itself.
Alongside these museum-quality works, the US250 Anniversary Collection extends into a range of commemorative crystal pieces. The suite of drinkware draws inspiration from the stars and stripes, interpreting the American flag through precise cuts and unmistakable clarity. Offered in classic clear crystal as well as bold red and blue editions, the collection includes flutes, double old fashioned glasses, and a decanter designed to bring meaning to the toasts that will define this year and those ahead.
Collectible crystal pieces further capture the spirit of the milestone through forms inspired by national symbols, offering objects for the home that reflect the moment and Waterford’s mastery of craft. All pieces in the collection carry the USA250 designation, offering a clear tie to this historic year and elevating them into lasting markers of the occasion.
