Waterford Crystal Starburst is a striking shape and cut vase. The flared top allows the flowers to gently form making an easy flower display. The Starburst large 12 inch Flower Vase is a traditionally cut crystal vase which looks good with or without flowers. Ensure that you thoroughly rinse the vase after the flowers are removed as the acidity in the floral water will make the vase go cloudy if left. Since the Waterford Wedgwood Group WWRD closed the Waterford Crystal factory in Kilbarry Ireland in March 2009 all product is now produced in quality European Crystal factories to Waterfords exacting standards.
