Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor), eBay (best for global collectors), or Replacements, Ltd (if looking for a quick wholesale buyout)
Selling Tips
Photograph under soft natural light to minimize glare on the gold. Use keywords like 'Mid Century Modern', '22k Gold Filigree', and 'Replacement China'. Wrap extremely well in bubble wrap and double-box to prevent spout breakage during shipping
