Vintage Waterford Crystal Egg Hand Cooler Paperweight | Made in Ireland | Complete with Original Box & Papers

Elegant in both form and function, this vintage Waterford Crystal Egg Hand Cooler is a beautifully preserved example of the craftsmanship that established Waterford as one of the world’s most celebrated crystal houses.

Crafted in Waterford, Ireland and dating to 1999, this solid crystal egg features a deeply cut repeating floral and diamond motif that brilliantly captures and refracts light from every angle. Originally designed as both a hand cooler and decorative paperweight, its substantial weight and exceptional clarity make it as beautiful to display as it is to hold.

What makes this example especially desirable is its completeness. It retains its original gray velvet Waterford presentation box, outer retail sleeve, “Living with Waterford Crystal” booklet, original SKU labels, and product documentation—details that are increasingly difficult to find together after more than two decades. The original packaging not only enhances its presentation but also adds to its appeal for collectors seeking authentic, well-preserved Waterford pieces.

Produced during one of the final decades when Waterford’s classic crystal giftware was handcrafted in its historic Irish factory, this piece represents a wonderful example of late twentieth-century Irish crystal craftsmanship.

Whether displayed on a desk, incorporated into a crystal collection, or given as a thoughtful gift, this complete Waterford set is a timeless piece that continues to sparkle with the quality for which the brand is known.
