Key Features
Versatile decorative color; heavy base prevents tipping; popular hourglass silhouette for floral arrangements; easy to clean.

Cloudiness from hard water deposits (needs vinegar soak); minor surface scratches/scuffs on the base; possible air bubbles from manufacturing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
Wash thoroughly with white vinegar to remove water lines. Use natural light for photos to highlight the green clarity. This item is best bundled with 1-2 other green glass pieces to make shipping costs worthwhile for a buyer.
