The Original Lismore pattern was inspired by the classic simplicity of the castle’s architecture. Tall upright wedge cuts on a band of open diamonds represents the turrets and battlements of the castle. The Lismore design of crystal is one of Waterford’s most universally popular ranges and has proven to be its most collectable.
The Lismore range of writing Instruments has ten microns of platinum plated onto solid brass. The 18kt gold Waterford fountain pen nib is manufactured by a multi-stage process and is hand built to exacting tolerances. The tip of the Waterford nib is made from iridium, a metal more valuable than platinum. The deep diamond-cut patterns that characterize Waterford Crystal have been reinterpreted in precious metals and diamond-cut onto the pen’s surfaces. The unique star pattern that appears on the base of every piece of Waterford crystal as a signature of the Waterford brand is hand cut onto the cap head of each writing instrument. The Waterford clip is a composite of spring steel and a forged metal ingot. A wedge cut by a diamond tool on each clip strongly identifies the Waterford brand.
The Lismore Collection includes a fountain pen, roller ball pen, ball point pen, and a 0.7mm pencil. The fountain pen fill by cartridge or bottle with a converter.
