Material

Condition
Very Good. The print itself appears well-protected. The matting is crisp. There is minor dust beneath the glass and light scuffs on the wood frame. No visible water damage or fading.
Demand Level
Niche. Highly desirable for specific Fenton glass collectors but has moderate appeal to general decor buyers due to the dated frame style.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for Fenton collectors. Etsy is a secondary option for vintage home decor. Facebook Marketplace is suitable for local sales to avoid high shipping costs for glass.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Fenton Art', 'Lotus Pond', and 'Water Lily Decor'. Photography is key; ensure you photograph the item in a way that minimizes reflections (the current photo has heavy glare). Offer 'Free Shipping' but bake the cost into the price, as shipping framed glass safely is expensive.
