Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage glass buyers), eBay (best for international reach), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Hollywood Regency', 'Mid Century Glass', and 'Wexford Gold Rim'. Photograph against a dark background to make the gold and facets pop. Hand-wash only before shipping to ensure the gold doesn't flake.
