Key Features
22k Gold gilding, classic Greek Key motif which is highly collectible in Barware, sturdy stem construction, vintage MCM aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Weight and chime (quality glass has a distinct ring); wear pattern on the gold suggests genuine metallic overlay rather than modern paint. Confidence: High (Vintage Original).
Flaws to Note
Gold wear: The rim shows some unevenness or fading in the gold application. This is permanent. Minor 'flea bites' or rough edges may be present on the rim due to age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage sets), eBay (best for replacements/singles), or Facebook Marketplace (local pick-up to avoid shipping breakage).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark background to make the gold pop. Use keywords like 'Hollywood Regency', 'MCM Barware', 'Greek Key', and 'Gilt'. If you only have one, list it as a 'replacement piece' for those looking to complete a set.
