Description
Add a touch of autumnal elegance to your home with this square green crackle glass decorative plate. The plate features a beautiful textured 'crackle' finish in a vibrant moss green hue, accented by raised, embossed gold leaves including oak and maple patterns. Measuring approximately 8-10 inches, this piece is perfect for coffee table decor, a vanity tray, or seasonal fall displays. Note: Likely hand-wash only due to the metallic foil finish.
Key Features
Textured crackle glass design; festive fall/autumn theme; embossed metallic gold leaves; vibrant moss green colorway; versatile square shape.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence in 'brand' but high confidence in modern manufacture. The presence of a generic Goodwill barcode and the machine-pressed consistency of the leaves suggest high-volume production. No designer marks visible.
Flaws to Note
Significant sticker residue on the face of the item (requires careful removal to avoid scratching gold); minor shelf wear on bottom; not food/microwave safe due to gold foil/paint.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, or local consignment. Shipping glass is risky and expensive relative to the low price point, making local sales more profitable.
Selling Tips
Wait until August to list for peak 'Fall Decor' interest. Use keywords like 'Fall Harvest,' 'Oak Leaf,' 'Crackle Glass,' and 'Golden Autumn'. Clean off the sticker residue using a mild oil (not harsh scrapers) to preserve the gold paint. Bundle with other autumnal decor to justify shipping costs if selling online.
