Offered here is a beautiful Waterford Crystal Royal Tara cordial glass, standing 5¼ inches tall. This is the early, thick‑cut Royal Tara production from circa 1952–2001, featuring deep vertical fluting and the heavy, faceted geometric stem that defines the original Royal Tara design.
Waterford did not consistently acid‑etch signatures on smaller stemware during this period, so unsigned early Royal Tara cordials are normal and fully authentic. The weight, cut depth, stem geometry, and bowl profile match the early production exactly.
Details: • Pattern: Royal Tara (Early Thick‑Cut Production)• Manufacture Period: Circa 1952–2001• Type: Cordial / Liqueur Glass• Height: 5¼ inches• Material: Full‑lead crystal• Origin: Ireland• Quantity: 5 Cordials
Why These Are More Valuable: Replacement’s pricing reflects the later thin‑cut Royal Tara, not the early heavy‑cut version. Early thick‑cut cordials are significantly rarer and command higher collector value.
Condition: Look unused. Crystal is clear and brilliant with no chips, cracks, or cloudiness. Bases show minimal to no shelf wear. Excellent display and gift‑worthy condition.
Provenance: From the personal estate of Michael Alan Smith (1954–2026), a respected Denver attorney and supporter of the arts.
A rare opportunity to acquire early-production Royal Tara cordials — highly collectible and increasingly difficult to find.
