1980s-1990s; first introduced in 1968 but saw peak mass production and popularity in the late 20th century.
Material

Condition
Very Good. The glass shows excellent clarity with no visible chips or cracks. There appears to be some minor hard water spotting or residue on the rim that can be cleaned.
Demand Level
Moderate. Coupes are currently more desirable than flutes due to the craft cocktail trend, but individual glasses sell slower than sets.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage lovers), eBay (best for collectors replacing broken pieces), or Facebook Marketplace (if selling a large set to avoid shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Hollywood Regency', 'Grandmillennial', and 'Barware'. Photograph against a dark background to highlight the crystal facets. If selling a single glass, list it as a 'replacement piece'.
