Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics) or eBay (best for collectors). Local Facebook Marketplace is an option but glassware often sells for less locally unless marketed to wedding/event planners.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'MCM', 'Depression Style', 'Coupe', and 'Hollywood Regency'. Photograph against a dark, solid background to make the white etching pop. Provide extreme close-ups of the gold rim wear to avoid returns. Wrap each glass in multiple layers of small bubble wrap and double-box for shipping.
