Description
This decorative rectangular glass bottle features an elegant embossed scroll/filigree pattern on all four sides. The glass has a subtle seafoam or light green tint, reminiscent of vintage glass. It includes its original cork stopper and features a tall, slender neck. Standing approximately 8-10 inches tall, this piece is perfect for farmhouse, shabby chic, or apothecary-themed decor. It can be used as a bud vase, oil dispenser (if cleaned), or a simple shelf accent.
Key Features
desirable light green tint, intricate embossed detail, functional cork, popular 'vintage-inspired' cottagecore aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Moderate confidence that this is a modern decor item rather than a true antique. The uniformity of the embossing and the style of the lip finish are characteristic of modern manufacturing. No maker's mark visible.
Flaws to Note
Mild interior residue/dustiness; visible mold seams on the sides (typical of mass-produced glass); minor scuffing on the bottom from shelf wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (local), Mercari, or as part of a curated 'vignette' set on Etsy if vintage-style. Best sold in a local booth at an antique or craft mall.
Selling Tips
Wash the interior with warm soapy water and a bottle brush to remove the 'cloudy' look before photographing. Use natural light to highlight the green tint. This item is difficult to ship profitably on its own; consider bundling it with other glass bottles or decor items to increase the transaction value and justify shipping costs.
