Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for international reach for replacement seekers) or Etsy (if sold as 'curated decor' or a jewelry dish)
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Trinket Dish' or 'Jewelry Tray' rather than just a saucer to attract more buyers. Clean gently with mild soap and water only—do not scrub the gold. Use keywords like 'Regency,' 'Victorian Style,' and 'Replacement China'
