Description
Stunning vintage clear glass goblet featuring a geometric, diamond-faceted bowl that catches the light beautifully. Part of the 'Allure' pattern by Libbey/Rock Sharpe, this heavy-bottomed glass features a prismatic design and a faceted stem leading to a wide, stable base. Perfect for water, wine, or as part of a glamorous tablescape.
Key Features
Diamond-point faceted design; heavy hand-feel; high refractive index (sparkles like crystal but durable like glass); discontinued vintage pattern.
Authenticity Indicators
Libbey hallmarks are often absent (it likely had a paper sticker originally); however, the seam lines on the stem and the specific diamond geometry are consistent with the Libbey Allure mold. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Potential for small chips (fleabites) along the sharp facet edges; check specifically for 'cloudiness' or a white film from hard water minerals which can be permanent.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for buyers looking for specific replacements by name), or Facebook Marketplace (if selling a large set to avoid shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Always sell in pairs or sets of 4/6 if possible, as shipping a single glass is rarely profitable. Use keywords like 'Water Goblet', 'Ice Tea Glass', 'Faceted', and 'Geometric'. High-backlit photography is essential to show off the clarity and sparkle.
