Hand-cut floral etching adds artisanal value; scalloped saw-tooth rim suggests quality 20th-century craftsmanship; heavy leaded feel indicates higher quality than standard pressed glass.

Clarity of the glass (no yellowing/greying), sharpness of the cut edges, and the absence of mold seams indicate a hand-finished or high-quality pressed/cut piece. Confidence: Medium.
Flaws to Note
Flea bites (tiny chips) may exist along the sharp points of the saw-tooth rim; potential shelf wear/light scratches on the bottom surface; no manufacturer mark visible.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (largest audience for glassware collectors), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'ABP style', 'wheel cut', 'sawtooth rim', and 'Victorian style'. Photograph against a dark, solid background with backlighting to show the floral etching clearly. Always double-box when shipping to prevent breakage.
