Description
Vintage French Arcoroc Rosaline pink tempered glass dinner plate. Features a distinct octagonal 'octime' shape with a textured, hammered-style rim and a soft salmon-pink hue. Elegant yet durable, these plates were a staple of 1980s European glassware and are now popular for 'Grandmillennial' or 'Cottagecore' aesthetics.
Key Features
Iconic 1980s French design; pink tempered glass is highly collectible; octagonal shape is more desirable than the standard round 'Rosaline' pattern; brand recognition among vintage glass collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Typically marked 'FRANCE' with a number in small embossed lettering on the base or rim edge. Construction is heavy and durable. Authenticity confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant surface scratching (utensil marks) in the center well of the plate; adhesive residue from price stickers (removable); needs deep cleaning to restore luster.

Etsy (for vintage glass collectors), eBay (broadest reach), or Facebook Marketplace (for local buyers building a set).
Selling Tips
Avoid high-heat dishwashers to prevent clouding. Use keywords like 'Depression Glass Style', 'Octagonal', 'Blush Pink', and 'French Vintage'. Taking photos against a white background with side-lighting will help highlight the hammered texture.
