eBay or Etsy are best for reaching collectors. Facebook Marketplace is suitable for a quick, no-shipping sale, though likely at a lower price point ($5-$10).
Selling Tips
Use keywords: 'Vintage,' 'Mid Century Modern,' 'Wexford,' 'Anchor Hocking,' and 'Pressed Glass.' Photograph it against a dark background or with light passing through it to show off the pattern. Mention 'No chips or cracks' explicitly if verified. This item is heavy; consider using USPS Ground Advantage or Pirate Ship to keep shipping costs competitive.
