Description
Exquisite set of purple seeded glass wine goblets featuring a flared rim and a thick, clear baluster-style glass stem. The deep amethyst hue is accented by beautiful captive bubbles (seeded glass) throughout the bowl, giving them a handcrafted, rustic-elegant look. Standing approximately 7-8 inches tall, these are perfect for bohemian, farmhouse, or eclectic tablescapes.
Key Features
Sought-after amethyst purple color; 'seeded' texture is currently trending in home decor; heavy, high-quality feel; versatile for water or wine.
Authenticity Indicators
These lack a maker's mark, which is common for retail brands like Pottery Barn, Pier 1, or West Elm. Confidence in contemporary retail origin: High.
Flaws to Note
Occasional unevenness in the rim or base due to the blowing process (not a defect); check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the top rim.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (local pickup avoids shipping risk), Etsy (for the 'vintage style' aesthetic), or eBay (best for reaching collectors of specific patterns).
Selling Tips
Always sell as a set rather than individual pieces to maximize profit. Use the keywords 'Amethyst,' 'Seeded Glass,' 'Hand Blown Style,' and 'Boho Decor.' Backlight the glasses in photos to show the purple color and bubbles clearly. Wrap excessively in bubble wrap if shipping, as the flared rims are fragile.
