Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor), eBay (best for glass collectors), or a local Antique Mall booth. High-quality glass is difficult to ship, making local sales safer.

Use keywords like 'Elegant Glass', 'Depression Glass', and 'Art Deco'. Photograph against a solid black or dark blue background to make the white etching pop. Double-box for shipping to ensure it survives transit.
