Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping breakables), eBay (broadest audience), or Etsy (if marketed as 'Vintage 90s Home').
Selling Tips
Wash with vinegar and warm water to ensure the glass sparkles in photos. Use keywords like 'Calla Lily', 'Scalloped', 'Frosted', and 'Wedding Decor'. If shipping, use the 'box-in-a-box' method as these are heavy and prone to cracking under pressure.
