Elegant Princess House Heritage pattern wine glass. Features the iconic hand-cut floral vine and starburst/sunburst gray-cut etching. Tall, slender pulled stem with a classic tulip-shaped bowl. Perfect for white or red wine, standing approximately 7-8 inches tall.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Heritage' pattern; classic 'shabby chic' or 'grandmillennial' aesthetic; high brand recognition among vintage glassware collectors; discontinued but widely sought for replacement sets.
Authenticity Indicators
The pattern is unmistakable for Princess House fans; look for a faint 'PH' sandblasted mark on the base, though many older pieces are unmarked. High confidence based on etching style.
Flaws to Note
Potential 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the rim or base; hard water spots or clouding if not cleaned properly; slight variations in etching due to the hand-cut nature.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for single replacements; Facebook Marketplace is ideal if you have a large set to avoid shipping risks; Replacements, Ltd. for a quick (but lower) buyout.
Selling Tips
Always use 'Replacements' and 'Heritage' in the title. Package with extreme care using double-boxing. These sell best in pairs or sets of four. Clean with a vinegar soak to ensure maximum sparkle before photographing against a dark background.
