Ruby Red Seeded Glass Oversized Wine Goblet / Chalice
Unbranded (likely Pier 1 Imports or Pottery Barn) · Kitchenware > Drinkware
Era / Decade
Modern (2000s-2010s) based on the flared rim style and the presence of controlled bubbles (seeded glass) which was a popular home decor trend during this period.
Material
Hand-blown or mold-blown heavy glass. Features a ruby red bowl with 'seeded' (air bubble) inclusions and a clear solid glass pedestal stem. High weight indicates decent quality.
Condition
Good condition. The glass appears free of major chips or cracks. However, the large adhesive Goodwill sticker is covering a significant portion of the bowl, which may leave residue or hide surface scratches. Needs thorough cleaning.
Demand Level
Moderate. Red glassware has a very high demand during the Q4 holiday season (October-December), but remains a niche 'boho' or 'maximalist' item year-round.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$8.00 - $15.00 (Single stem) / $25.00 - $35.00 (If found as a pair)
Estimated Retail Value

Description
This stunning oversized wine goblet features a vibrant ruby red bowl with a charming 'seeded' texture, full of tiny controlled air bubbles that catch the light. The bowl has a dramatic flared rim and sits atop a sturdy, clear glass baluster-style stem and wide base. Perfect for holiday tablescapes, Gothic decor, or as a statement water goblet. Holds approximately 12-16 oz.
Key Features
Rich ruby red color is highly desirable for Christmas and Valentine's Day decor; seeded glass texture adds a handmade, artisanal look; heavy weight feels substantial and expensive.
Authenticity Indicators
No visible acid-etched maker's mark on the bottom. The thick construction and seeded style are hallmark indicators of mass-market 'artisan style' retailers like Pier 1. Confidence Level: High for contemporary decor, Low for antique importance.
Flaws to Note
Large adhesive sticker on the bowl (requires Goo-Gone to remove safely); potential for 'shelf wear' scratches on the bottom of the base; minor irregularities in air bubbles are part of the design, not flaws.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (Best for local pickup to avoid shipping glass), eBay (Good if you have a set), or Etsy (if listing as 'vintage style' or if it is over 20 years old).
Selling Tips
Use high-contrast lighting to show the bubbles inside the glass. Mention 'Christmas,' 'Holiday,' 'Valentine's,' and 'Seeded Glass' in the keywords. If selling locally, try to find a second one to sell as a pair, as single glasses are harder to move than sets. Ship with double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap.
