Description
This vintage mid-century modern glassware features a striking emerald green transparent hue. It is designed with a tulip-shaped bowl and a heavy, footed pedestal base. The top rim is accented with a delicate gold band. This versatile piece can serve as a large water goblet, a small vase, or a decorative candy dish. Measures approximately 6 inches tall.
Key Features
Evergreen/Emerald color is highly desirable for Christmas and St. Patrick's Day decor; Mid-Century Modern (MCM) aesthetic; heavy weighted feel gives a sense of quality.
Authenticity Indicators
Weight, color consistency, and characteristic seam lines from the mold. High confidence in being authentic vintage mass-market glassware.
Flaws to Note
Significant wear to the gold leaf at the rim (common for its age); this cannot be easily repaired. Check the base for 'flea bites' or small chips that may be hidden by the thick glass.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for the vintage/MCM audience) or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping risks and costs for a low-margin item).
Selling Tips
Market this as 'Emerald Green' or 'Forest Green' to attract holiday shoppers. Always mention the gold rim wear to avoid returns. Wrap in excessive bubble wrap, as pressed glass is prone to internal stress fractures during rough shipping.
