Marquess of Waterford COA (Ireland) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This striking decal presents the Coat of Arms of the Marquess of Waterford, a powerful visual statement of noble heritage. The design is meticulously crafted to reflect the heraldic tradition of the Beresford family.

The Shield: Quartered for Lineage

The central element is the quartered shield, showcasing the lineage and connections of the Marquess. The first and fourth quarters represent the Beresford family, featuring a silver (Argent) field scattered with small crosses (crusilly fitchée), framing three golden fleurs-de-lis within a black (sable) engrailed border. This signifies a family deeply rooted in faith and honor. The second and third quarters display the arms of La Poer, another prominent family, represented by a silver (Argent) field and a black (sable) chief (top section) with an indented edge, possibly suggesting a connection to land ownership or a specific event in history.

Crest: The Dragon of Courage

Above the shield, the crest presents a dragon's head, cut off cleanly (erased) and colored blue (azure). It is pierced through the neck with a broken golden (or) spear, the broken point in silver (argent), which protrudes through the upper jaw. The dragon symbolizes strength, courage, and guardianship, while the broken spear could represent a vanquished foe or a symbolic gesture of sacrifice.

Supporters: Angelic Guardians

Flanking the shield are two angels, rendered in their natural (proper) colors. They wear silver (argent) vestments and have golden (or) hair and wings. Each angel holds an upright sword in their outer hand, representing justice, protection, and divine support.

Motto: Faith and Purpose

The motto, "Nil nisi cruce," or "Nothing unless by the Cross," is a powerful declaration of faith and belief in the guiding power of the Christian cross, encapsulating the family's spiritual foundations.

Overall Impression

The overall design is rich in symbolism and color, blending heraldic tradition with powerful imagery to create a potent visual representation of the Marquess of Waterford's heritage and values. The design is a bold expression of lineage, faith, and the enduring strength of the Beresford family.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
