Flaws to Note
No flaws visible in image. Potential buyers should check for 'flea bites' on the rim or base and 'sick glass' (permanent cloudiness from dishwasher use).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching collectors), Etsy (vintage barware aesthetic), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark background with side lighting to emphasize the sparkle of the cuts. Use keywords 'Lismore', 'Lead Crystal', and 'MCM Barware'. Double-box for shipping to ensure it survives transit.
