Description
Elegant set of 4 Lenox wine glasses featuring the iconic 'Butterfly Meadow' pattern. These glasses showcase beautiful frosted etchings of butterflies, flowers, and dragonflies on a flared tulip-shaped bowl. Each glass stands approximately 8.75 inches tall with a delicate, elongated stem and a sturdy base. Perfect for collectors of the Butterfly Meadow dinnerware line or as a sophisticated wedding gift.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Butterfly Meadow' pattern; Lenox brand prestige; frosted/etched detail (more subtle than the colorful porcelain version); classic tulip shape.
Authenticity Indicators
Style matches known Lenox pattern closely. Confidence: High. Look for a faint 'Lenox' acid-etched mark on the bottom of the base, though these can sometimes be difficult to see without backlighting.
Flaws to Note
None visible. Always check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the rim and 'sickness' (permanent cloudiness) caused by dishwasher minerals.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Replacements, Ltd. are best for collectors. Facebook Marketplace is excellent for local, fragile items to avoid shipping risks. Poshmark Home is also a viable option.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Etched', 'Discontinued', and 'Wedding Gift'. Take high-contrast photos against a dark background to make the white etching pop. Double-box for shipping with plenty of bubble wrap; these are fragile and insurance is recommended.
