Look for cloudy 'sickness' or mineral deposits inside the narrow neck which are hard to clean. Check the rim for 'flea bites' (tiny chips).

Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Princess House Heritage', 'Hand Cut Crystal', and 'Replacement Glassware'. Backlit photography will make the etching pop. Mention it was a multi-level marketing (MLM) favorite from the 70s/80s for nostalgia appeal.
