Description:
Waterford's 4-by-6-inch Mother's Day picture frame would be a thrilling gift for a mom who loves to have photos of family and friends on display. Though Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces since almost a century before Mother's Day even existed, their artisans continue to develop and update designs for modern tastes and sensibilities. This frame, along with a matching orchid vase, represents the tenth edition of the Mother's Day collection. The outer edges of the Mother's Day frame describe an undulating rectangle; the effect is of ripples on water. From each of the four corners, a spray of leaf-like cuts direct the eye inward. Between the edges and the central window floats a pattern of leaf clusters and blossoms; Waterford calls this the "dancing oncidium" pattern after the small delicate orchids of that name. A black velvet backing, easily removed by turning two small metal toggles, holds a photo or drawing centered in the frame. A chain-reinforced easel stand allows the frame to stand at a relatively slight angle. To preserve its clarity, wash this crystal frame with a mild liquid soap and warm (not hot) water; do not wash in dishwasher as this may permanently etch surface of crystal. 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. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Do not store frame on its delicate edges or stand on its edge 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 frame measures 7 by 9 inches and accommodates a 4-by-6-inch photo, and the easel stand extends back 3 inches. --Garland Withers
