Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for reaching specific glass collectors. Local niche antique malls are also suitable. Facebook Marketplace is less ideal unless in a high-demand vintage market.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Elegant Glass,' 'Art Deco,' and 'Depression Era.' Photograph against a dark, solid background to make the white etching pop. Double-box for shipping with plenty of bubble wrap as the arms are delicate. Mention the 'June' pattern explicitly.
