Description
A pair of vintage Princess House Heritage pattern crystal bud vases. These elegant, tall cylinder vases feature the classic hand-blown and hand-cut floral motif characteristic of the Heritage line. Each vase has a weighted base for stability, making them perfect for single-stem roses or delicate wildflowers. Standing approximately 6 to 8 inches tall.
Key Features
Recognizable Heritage pattern; collectible mid-century brand; elegant tall silhouette; hand-cut crystal details.
Authenticity Indicators
The 'Heritage' floral cutting style is proprietary to Princess House; look for a small 'PH' crown logo etched near the base (though these were often only stickered). High confidence in brand identification based on pattern.
Flaws to Note
Significant clouding on the right-hand vase which may be permanent 'glass sickness'; minor surface scratches from shelf wear; lack of original box.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy for collectors seeking replacements; Facebook Marketplace for local buyers looking for cheap wedding decor or gift items.
Selling Tips
Attempt to clean the cloudy glass with white vinegar or a professional glass cleaner to see if it is surface residue. If the clouding is permanent, market them as 'shabby chic' or for craft use. Use keywords like 'Princess House Heritage', 'Etched Crystal', and 'Vintage Replacement'.
