Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Check the goblet for chips along the rim or foot. Highlight the 'Original Box' in the title. Best sold in pairs or sets if you can find others, as a single goblet is harder to move than a set of 4 or 8. Use keywords like 'Ruby Red', 'Sandwich Glass', and 'Victorian Style'.
