Key Features
Classic Early American Preserved Glass (EAPG) look, highly collectible pattern, heavy professional feel, iconic starburst foot design.
Authenticity Indicators
Distinctive faceted stem and sharp diamond geometry. High confidence based on the specific starburst pattern on the base and the weight of the glass.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' (tiny nicks) around the rim or base. Ensure there is no 'sick glass' (milky permanent cloudiness) from calcium buildup.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage lovers), eBay (widest reach for collectors), or Replacements Ltd (for quick wholesale buyout).
Selling Tips
Sell as a set rather than individual stems to maximize shipping efficiency and appeal to buyers looking to complete a table setting. Use 'EAPG' and 'Pressed Glass' in the title.
