Description
Elegant Mikasa Cheers Martini Glass featuring a whimsical, precision-etched swirling 'scribble' or 'ribbon' design and horizontal pinstripes. This lead-free crystal glass stands approximately 7.5 to 9 inches tall (standard for the line) with a slim, elongated stem and a wide conical bowl. Perfect for adding a festive touch to home bars or as a replacement piece for an existing collection.
Key Features
High brand recognition (Mikasa), popular 'Cheers' pattern with mix-and-match versatility, etched design prevents fingerprint visibility, discontinued or hard-to-find specific variants in some retail locations.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern match (exact 'Cheers' series design), stem weight/clarity characteristic of Mikasa crystal. Most pieces include a small acid-etched 'Mikasa' logo on the base (check underside). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
No mechanical flaws. Potential for light surface scratches if handled roughly (not visible in image). Permanent etching means no fading, unlike printed glassware.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for replacement pieces sought by specific buyers), Poshmark/Mercari (good for sets), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Replacement Stem' for those looking to complete a set. Use high-impact keywords like 'Etched', 'Crystal', 'Martini stemware', and 'Replacement'. Wrap extensively in bubble wrap and double-box if shipping to avoid breakage claims.
