Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-2020s)
Material
Heavy recycled glass with a slight green/aqua tint and a thin black coated wire metal handle. The glass appears thick and hand-blown or molded to mimic a vintage look.
Condition
Good. The glass appears clear without visible cracks or heavy scratching. However, the black wire handle appears slightly bent/misshapen near the attachment points, which is common with this style of thin gauge wire.
Demand Level
Moderate. Farmhouse and 'Grandmillennial' decor styles remain popular, but glass items are common and expensive to ship, which can limit online buyer interest.

Description
Add a touch of rustic charm to your space with this oversized recycled glass lantern vase. Featuring a bell-shaped silhouette and a minimalist black wire handle, this versatile piece can be used as a large floral vase, a candle holder (hurricane lantern), or a terrarium. The glass has a beautiful subtle sea-glass tint and a weighted base for stability.
Key Features
Oversized scale, farmhouse/industrial aesthetic, versatile function (vase or lantern), recycled material eco-appeal, and heavy-duty glass construction.
Authenticity Indicators
Pottery Barn and West Elm frequently sold this specific bell-jar style with wire handles. Confidence level: Medium-High. Check the bottom for a clear etched logo or a centered glass pontil mark.
Flaws to Note
The wire handle is thin and prone to bending; it may require manual reshaping. Check the rim for 'flea bites' or microweights which are common in recycled glass. It does not include a lid or a candle insert.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local thrift/consignment. This item is heavy and fragile; shipping costs on eBay or Poshmark will often exceed the value of the item, making a local cash sale the most profitable option.
Selling Tips
Photograph this item with a pillar candle or eucalyptus stems inside to show scale and utility. Use keywords like 'Farmhouse,' 'Hurricane,' and 'Industrial.' If selling locally, price it at $25 and be willing to take $15-20. Clean it thoroughly with vinegar and water to ensure the glass sparkles in photos.
