Description
This elegant Pier 1 Imports bud vase features a rich plum purple glaze with an embossed vine/leaf motif wrapping around the teardrop-shaped body. It has a narrow neck and a flared pedestal base. Standing approximately 10-12 inches tall, it is a classic decorative piece for a shelf or mantel.
Key Features
Desirable deep purple/plum colorway; embossed botanical texture; discontinued brand (Pier 1); versatile tall silhouette for single-stem arrangements.
Authenticity Indicators
Classic Pier 1 mass-market construction; the bottom likely features a stamped or sticker logo (unseen but typical for this line). High confidence this is a standard big-box import.
Flaws to Note
Multiple dark surface scuffs (black marks) likely from contact with other metal or rubber items; white adhesive tape residue around the rim which needs careful removal to avoid glaze damage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Local marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace or a garage sale. The cost of shipping would likely exceed the value of the item on eBay or Poshmark.
Selling Tips
Clean the scuff marks with a magic eraser or baking soda paste first; removal of the black streaks will significantly increase the appeal. Use keywords like 'Regency', 'Boho', 'Plum', and 'Floral'. Price low to move quickly.
