Flaws to Note
Potential for tiny 'flea bites' on the rim or base. Presence of water spots or light dust that requires cleaning with a vinegar/water solution. Check for 'cloudiness' (permanent etching from dishwashers).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted collectors and international reach) and Etsy (strong market for vintage luxury glassware). Local marketplaces like Facebook are good only if priced as a bundle.
Selling Tips
Always mention 'Gallia Pattern' in the title. Use high-contrast lighting to show off the brilliance of the cuts. Wrap in multiple layers of small bubble wrap and double-box for shipping to ensure arrival without breakage.
