Amazon.com Review:
This impressive square bowl, perfect for a lovely fruit display on a formal table, is part of Waterford's Clarion Collection. Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years, and the artisans draw upon centuries of tradition to find imagery for their designs. The Clarion Collection is inspired both by the belled mouths of brass horns as well as by rays of light; the result is simple, exuberant, and prismatic. From a clear, four-faceted base, the square bowl swoops up and out, like a curved pyramid standing on its tip. Long, sweeping wedge cuts comb up the sides, fanning out as they rise. The rim of the bowl describes a broad square; the edges are polished smooth and gently rounded. The Clarion Collection includes a matching 6-inch bowl, as well as a 6-inch pair of candlesticks, two rectangular vases, and a shallow, square centerpiece bowl. To preserve its clarity, wash the bowl with mild liquid soap and warm (not hot) water; do not wash in dishwasher as this may permanently etch surface of crystal. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit on the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will help remove the deposit. Do not store upside down on its rim or stand on its rim on a draining board. Crystal can focus sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The bowl measures 10 inches square and 5-1/2 inches tall and sits on a 4-1/2-inch square base. --Garland Withers
