Authenticity Indicators
The 'June' etch is a signature Fostoria design. Authentic pieces are known for their fire-polished edges and the specific faceted shape of the stem (Stem #6025). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Potential for tiny 'flea bites' on the base of the stopper or the rim of the decanter neck due to ground-glass friction. Minor surface scratches on the bottom of the feet from storage.

Selling Tips
Use 'Grandmillennial' and 'Bar Cart Decor' as keywords. Research 'Fostoria June Clear' to confirm stemware numbers. Package with double-boxing and significant bubble wrap, as these pieces are fragile and expensive to replace. Provide a video showing the crystal's clarity against a dark background.
