Key Features
Timeless romantic aesthetic; intricate screen-printed detail; desirable gold rim; great for bridal-themed resale; classic silhouette

High confidence as a vintage mass-market piece; lack of maker's mark suggests a high-volume manufacturer like Libbey; no evidence of high-end crystal (no lead chime or distinctive light refraction)
Flaws to Note
Slight wear/rubbing on the gold rim; possible hard water spots or faint surface scratches from storage
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage enthusiasts), eBay (for replacement pieces), or Facebook Marketplace (local pick-up to avoid shipping fragility)
Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark, solid background to make the white lace pattern pop. Use keywords like 'Regency', 'Bridal', 'Victorian Style', and 'Barware'. If selling as a single, market it as a 'replacement piece'.
