Waterford

In 1985 I had the pleasure of visiting American friends who were living in Dundalk, Ireland for a year.
I bought this HEAVY Waterford biscuit barrel at the airport in Dublin ~ and then changed terminals in both London and JFK, having to drag this, 1L of Baileys and a large picture book through the airports.
My elbows were never the same again.
I'm so glad that I carried this on board, because my check luggage went to Puerto Rico. It did not arrive in Dallas until 2 weeks later!

Heavy, but well worth lugging it around! Beautiful shot, Stephanie. I can almost hear the 'Waterford' ting! V~

I know I love my Waterford crystal. Have a few pieces. Wow, you really keep yours clean! I need to get a maid since I can't get the dog or cat to do any work around here! :) This is really a cool crop! Love that green background too! You should print and frame it and hang it in your kitchen! V

You visited my hometown then! A lovely piece of crystal - sadly it's no longer made in Waterford as the factory has closed.

I know what it feels like lugging things around airports... but it was worth it. This is a beautiful biscuit barrel. Uschi (V)
