Set out on a hostess table with a pitcher of ice water between them, these two goblets catch the light along every cut. They would be lovely at either end of a dinner table or flanking a bar cart.

Waterford Crystal traces its beginnings to 1783, when William and George Penrose founded a glasshouse in Waterford, Ireland. Crystal making returned to the city in 1947, when a small factory opened at Ballytruckle, and by 1970 production had moved to a larger new factory at Kilbarry. Araglin was introduced in 1985 and takes its name from the Araglin Valley in County Cork. Replacements, Ltd. lists the pattern as discontinued, with production running from 1985 to 2022, and the pattern spawned relatives over the years, including Golden Araglin, Araglin Platinum, and Araglin Traditions. A pair in this standard 7 7/8-inch size is a good find for anyone matching an existing set.
