Waterford Goes Modern

This morning a coworker pointed out a particular design to me.  She knows that I love all things modern.  I was astounded to see that these pieces were made by Waterford of Ireland.  Called "Evolutions," this collection of giftware features organic forms, simple lines, repeating geometric shapes, and a variety of colors.  The centerpiece that is pictured here is the item that first caught my eye.  It is shown standing 16" wide and 10" tall. 

For the most part, Waterford is known for their austere traditional designs like "Lismore;"  heavy lead crystal patterns that are accented with diamond cuts.  Probably the most innovative line that I have seen made by Waterford is the Millennium Series.  This festive line of toasting flutes and giftware was made for the turn of the millennium and has been immensely popular.

My job is so full of surprises.  I really never know what I'm going to find next.  It's just a matter of turning the corner.
