Condition
Good. There is visible sticker residue and shelf wear on the base. No immediately apparent chips or cracks in the photograph, but glassware often has micro-flea bites along the rim.

Description
Attractive emerald green glass vase featuring a textured 'fish scale' or 'scalloped' pattern. Standing approximately 8-9 inches tall, this flared vase features a heavy pedestal base and a wide rim, perfect for robust floral arrangements or coastal-themed decor.
Key Features
Vibrant emerald green color which is popular for spring and holiday decor; heavy, stable base; unique textured pattern that catches light well.
Authenticity Indicators
Libbey often marks the bottom with a cursive 'L' but many of these mass-produced floral industry vases are unmarked. Confidence: High (very common Libbey mold).
Flaws to Note
Significant adhesive residue from thrift store pricing stickers (requires cleaning); potential air bubbles or mold lines common in pressed glass; check for 'flea bite' chips on the inner rim.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
