Weighted base for candle safety, classic hurricane silhouette, versatile winter theme (works through January/February unlike specific red/green Christmas items).
Authenticity Indicators
Libbey often has a cursive 'L' on the bottom, though many seasonal items are unmarked. Construction style and common graphic pattern verify it as a standard retail Libbey product. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
No visible flaws. Check for 'dishwasher fog' or micro-scratches in the frosted print if it has been used frequently.
Selling Guide

Facebook Marketplace for local sales; eBay for national reach if sold as part of a set; Etsy if marketed as 'Vintage Winter Decor'.
Selling Tips
Best sold as a pair or set of three. Photograph with a flickering battery-operated pillar candle inside to show off the frosted effect. Use keywords like 'Winter Wonderland', 'Holiday Tablescape', and 'Scandinavia style'.
