Pattern recognition (Sandwich pattern stippling); specific shape of the pedestal foot characteristic of Indiana Glass/Tiara molds. High confidence in authenticity.

Potential 'rough spots' along the inner rim of the lid or base (common in pressed glass); check for hidden chips on the sharp points of the tail or comb. Minor shelf wear on the bottom of the footed base.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for 'vintage' audience), eBay (best for glass collectors), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Cottagecore', 'Farmhouse Decor', 'Pressed Glass', and 'Figural Rooster'. This is heavy and fragile; double-box for shipping. Photograph against a dark, solid background to make the clear glass details pop.
