Description
Lovely vintage Christmas tree shaped glass dish featuring a vibrant pink iridescent luster. The dish has a unique texture with stippled 'hobnail' style edges and a concentric ring design in the base. The clear center transitions into a deep pink metallic sheen at the edges. Perfect for holiday candy, nuts, or as a festive vanity tray. Approximately 8-9 inches in height.
Key Features
Holiday-themed shape, trendy pink iridescent/carnival glass aesthetic, stippled texture which provides a vintage 'shabby chic' look, and versatility for seasonal decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Typical thickness and seam lines of mass-produced pressed glass from the late 20th century. High confidence that this is a genuine vintage 70s/80s decor piece rather than a modern reproduction.
Flaws to Note
No major flaws visible. Always check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the jagged points of the tree and rubbing wear on the iridescent coating which can happen from stacking.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for the vintage aesthetic), eBay (for collectors), and Facebook Marketplace (for local holiday shoppers).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark or wooden background to make the iridescent pink 'pop.' Use keywords like 'Grandmillennial,' 'Carnival Glass,' 'Holiday Decor,' and 'Coquette Aesthetic.' Price it higher in November to capitalize on seasonal demand.
