Waterford Marquis Arista Prism 2008-2009
The Waterford Marquis Arista Prism line was a clear “one of these things is not like the other” moment for the brand when it was introduced in 2008. The Marquis Arista Prism didn't seem to fit into the Waterford line at the time and had a short life. Made of lightweight, colorful resins that would be difficult to engrave or personalize, and priced similarly to the Marquis Claria line, the Arista Prism felt completely out of place. Even so, they are fun pens and hard to find now.
