Condition

Recent eBay 'sold' listings for similar Tiara leaf patterns range from $15 to $25 plus shipping. Complete sets sell significantly faster than individual bases or lids.
Description
This charming vintage Tiara Exclusives pink pressed glass dish features a highly textured leaf and petal motif. The two-piece set consists of a bottom bowl and a matching domed lid that creates a rounded, organic shape when closed. The color is a soft peach-pink, reminiscent of Depression-era 'Rosalin' glass. Its compact size makes it perfect as a trinket bowl, candy dish, or decorative accent.
Key Features
Highly tactile 'stippled' texture; desirable 'Grandmillennial' aesthetic; complete two-piece set (the lid is often lost); classic floral/leaf design that appeals to cottagecore decor enthusiasts.
Authenticity Indicators
Tiara Exclusives items were typically unmarked but identifiable by their specific patterns (Leaf/Tudor) and unique color palettes. Confidence: High (This is a well-documented Tiara Exclusives mold).
Flaws to Note
Possible 'flea bites' (tiny nicks) along the inner rim of the lid or the base rim where the two pieces meet. Check for unevenness in the glass mold seams.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for glass collectors), and Facebook Marketplace (good for local buyers to avoid shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Cottagecore', 'Grandmillennial', 'Pressed Glass', and 'Peach Pink'. Photograph it with light passing through the glass (like the user photo) to show off the texture. Mention it is 'two pieces' clearly in the title.
