Description
This is a contemporary Fortessa Jupiter glass goblet in a rich plum/amethyst purple hue. Inspired by Parisian flea market finds, it features a band of hobnail/beaded texture at the rim, a central sunburst or floral medallion, and a deeply textured fluted base. The glass is thick and durable, designed for both casual and formal dining.
Key Features
Highly popular 'Grandmillennial' aesthetic; Bohemian and vintage-inspired; versatile plum color; heavy, quality feel in hand; dishwasher safe.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Fortessa Jupiter glass has a distinct weight and clarity. Similar reproductions exist (e.g., Target's Threshold brand or Amazon mass-market versions), but the specific medallion pattern and beaded rim are characteristic of the Fortessa design.
Flaws to Note
Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) around the rim or internal fractures. Check for cloudiness if it has been washed in hard water repeatedly. Minor manufacturing bubbles are present but not considered a flaw.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (best for sets), Poshmark (popular for home decor), or eBay. Better sold as a set than a single piece to justify shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Hobnail', 'Beaded', 'Amethyst', 'Boho', and 'Anthropology Style'. Highlight that it is dishwasher safe. If you find multiples, sell them as a set of 2 or 4 to maximize profit margin against shipping fees.
