Now, I know Germany has a tradition of producing some very fine crystal--e.g., Rosenthal, etc. However, it's not to my taste. I like Irish crystal! This does not look or feel the same to me. It isn't as prismatic to me, the cuts look too uniform, and it doesn't even feel the same in my hand. There's a certain feeling to the surface of Waterford crystal. I'm asking the store for a credit or an exchange, because when I bought it, it was advertised as made in Ireland...but I don't know what the store's response will be.
