Some of it was made at Wexford Crytal in Assaly, Killinick just by Moyglare Lodge, but they changed their name to Slaney Crystal. They went out of buisiness in the early 90's. I think there is more information on (see related link) somewhere in that site they had a page on the roslare factory.
AnsweryesNo, There are two different Fonts used by Waterford, and there are four different Logos used. There are even some of there very old pieces that have NO Waterford mark at all.
Yes, a Waterford crystal decanter may be worth more if the pattern is discontinued because it becomes more rare and sought after by collectors. You can find out the value by researching recent sales of similar discontinued Waterford crystal decanters online or consulting with an appraiser who specializes in crystal pieces.
Wexford was first produced in 1967. The production continued well into the 80s, with some pieces still being produced in the early 2000s. Walmart carried the punch bowl at that time. It is fast becoming one of the popular collectables. Prices are still low with good supply at this time. For a good look at most of the pieces and realistic values, get the book Fire King and More by Gene Florence. Note that Wexford is NOT in the Fire King line, thus the "More" in the title. :)
