Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-2020s) based on contemporary sticker remnants and design
Material
High-clarity glass (likely soda-lime) with metallic gold-plated rim bands
Condition
Good. The glass itself is clear with no visible chips, but there is noticeable tarnishing or loss of luster on the gold bands (scuffing/fading) which significantly impacts value.
Demand Level
Moderate. Home bar accessories are popular, especially footed or unique 'toed' styles, but value is capped for single, non-set items.
Resale Value

Comparable Sales
Similar single footed glasses with gold trim sell for $8-$12 plus shipping on eBay/Etsy. Full sets of 4-6 can reach $45-$65 if the gold trim is pristine.
Description
Elevate your bar cart with this stylish and unique 'Gemma' style footed lowball glass. Featuring a weighted, starburst-cut base supported by three decorative glass feet, this piece offers a vintage aesthetic with a modern build. Two metallic gold bands encircle the rim for a touch of Mid-Century Modern flair. Perfect for bourbon, old-fashioneds, or Scotch over ice. High-clarity glass construction with a comfortable curved profile.
Key Features
Unique triple-footed base design; starburst cut-bottom for light refraction; versatile Mid-Century Modern (MCM) aesthetic; weighted base for stability.
Authenticity Indicators
Features a purple rectangular maker's sticker typical of contemporary import brands like Hibi. High confidence that this is a modern mass-market glass and not heritage crystal (e.g., Waterford or Baccarat).
Flaws to Note
The gold trim shows signs of wear and oxidation (fading/dullness). There is a partial sticker residue on the side. Gold trim on this type of glassware is susceptible to dishwasher damage and should be hand-washed.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari or Poshmark for easy shipping; Facebook Marketplace if selling as a larger bundle with other barware.
Selling Tips
Thoroughly clean the glass and use a specialized glass cloth to buff out fingerprints. If the gold is heavily flaked, sell it as a 'character' piece or daily-use glass. Use keywords like 'MCM style', 'Footed Lowball', 'Toed Whiskey Glass', and 'Barware Decor'. Best sold as part of a pair or set of 4.
