Stemware
Experts advise registering for at least the three basic Waterford stemware shapes - wine, goblet and flute - then filling in with iced beverages, balloons, martinis, hiballs, double old fashioned and other barware to elevate your spirits. Stick with a design you adore or mix your patterns. As with good company, Waterford patterns are infinitely compatible. In regard to quantity, acquire as many glasses in each shape to match the number of place settings you need, typically twelve.

China
Each five-piece Waterford china place setting consists of a dinner plate, salad plate, bread and butter plate, a teacup and saucer. Accent plates are wonderfully versatile; it is common to list an extra twelve, either the coordinating style or a stylish contrasting pattern. Accessories include soup/pasta bowls, serving bowls and platters - great for gatherings of your new expanded family. Complete the look with a charming beverage pot as well a sugar bowl and creamer set.

All our china is made of incredibly strong and durable fine bone china. It is dishwasher safe with the heat-dry setting turned off as a means to protect platinum or gold banding.

Choose a pattern that fits your style as a couple and register for a minimum of twelve place settings. Some choose two china services, an elegant pattern for formal occasions and equally charming pattern for every day use.

Flatware
Our Waterford Stainless Steel Flatware offers an extensive array of distinctly elegant and continental-size patterns, designed to complement the exquisite patterns of our fine china and crystal. You will want to register for as many place settings of Waterford flatware as you have china, as well as coordinating serving pieces and hostess sets.
