Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage glass collectors. Facebook Marketplace is a good option for local sales to avoid the high risk of shipping breakage.
Selling Tips
Use the keywords 'Mid-Century', 'Diamond Point', 'EAPG Style', and 'Serving Bowl'. Photograph against a dark, solid background to highlight the diamond texture. Ensure it is packed with excessive bubble wrap if shipping, as the points are prone to chipping in transit.
