Description
This is a striking pair of vintage mid-century modern style dessert or coupe glasses. They feature a wide, shallow bowl with vertical optical ribbing in a soft peach/shrimp tint, supported by a bold, solid magenta pink tapered pedestal base. Perfect for serving sorbet, champagne, or shrimp cocktail. Height is approximately 4-5 inches.
Key Features
Unique bi-color glass design; popular 'Grandmillennial' and 'Barbiecore' aesthetic; ribbed texture captures light well; solid pedestal provides stability.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. These are mass-produced vintage glassware from the late 20th century. Lack of maker's mark is common for this type of French/European export glass.
Flaws to Note
Price stickers on the base might hide small scratches or leave adhesive residue. Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the delicate top rim.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy for the vintage aesthetic, or Depop/Poshmark for the trendy colorful home decor market. Facebook Marketplace is good for a quick local sale.
Selling Tips
Use high-quality photos with natural light to show the transparency and color. Use keywords like 'Depresso Glass Style', 'MCM', 'Ribbed', 'Magenta', and 'Coupe'. Sell as a pair to increase value. Carefully remove stickers with Goo Gone before photographing.
