Description
This is a vintage Arcoroc France pink 'Rosaline' plate featuring a distinct octagonal shape and a textured floral/scroll border pattern. The glass has a soft blush pink tint that is highly sought after by collectors of 'Grandmillennial' decor. Made of durable tempered glass, it is both functional and decorative.
Key Features
Iconic octagonal shape, popular blush pink colorway, made in France, tempered glassware durability, fits the 'Grandmillennial' or 'Cottagecore' aesthetic currently trending.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Look for a very small 'FRANCE' raised mark on the bottom rim or center. The specific geometric octagonal shape combined with the Rosaline pink color is a signature of Arcoroc from this era.
Flaws to Note
Heavy surface scratching/scuffing in the center basin from previous fork/knife use. These are permanent but less visible when the plate is in use or displayed from a distance.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage enthusiasts), eBay (for replacement seekers), or Facebook Marketplace (if selling as a set to avoid shipping costs).
Selling Tips
If you find more, bundle them. A single plate is best sold as a 'Replacement' piece on eBay. Use keywords like 'Pink Depression Style,' 'Octagon,' 'Arcoroc France,' and 'Rosaline.' Photograph against a white background to make the pink color pop.
