Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage kitchenware. Facebook Marketplace is a good secondary option for a local sale to avoid high shipping costs for heavy stoneware.
Selling Tips
Photograph the backstamp clearly. Use keywords like 'Vintage Corelle', 'Lilyville Pattern', 'Blue Lily', and '90s Kitchen'. Highlight that they are a set of 8. Package with extreme care using double-boxing if shipping, as stoneware is prone to impact breakage.
