Princess House glass is typically unsigned, but the specific 'Heritage' gray-cut etching (petals and vines) is proprietary and highly distinct. Confidence level: High.
Flaws to Note
Possible 'flea bites' or tiny nicks along the rim (check by running a fingernail around the edge); potential light surface scratches from storage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching targeted PH collectors), Etsy (due to vintage status), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping risks for glass).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Crystal,' 'Etched Glass,' and 'Mid Century Barware.' Double-box these during shipping to prevent breakage. Photograph them against a dark, solid background to make the white frosted etching pop.
