Description
Large vintage Arcoroc Rosaline pink swirl tempered glass dinnerware set. This elegant collection features a soft blush pink hue with a classic optic swirl or 'rope' texture. The set includes multiple place settings consisting of dinner plates, salad plates, saucers, teacups, and stemmed water goblets/wine glasses. Known for its durability and romantic aesthetic, this French-made glass is perfect for spring tablescapes or 'coquette' decor styles.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Rosaline' pink color; includes harder-to-find stemmed goblets; tempered glass is much more durable than true 1930s depression glass; large matching service for 8-10 people.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence level: High. Look for 'FRANCE' or 'ARCOROC' embossed in small letters on the bottom center of the plates or near the base of the stems.
Flaws to Note
Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) on the rims of the goblets and teacup handles. Check for 'dishwasher haze' which is permanent etching that ruins the shine of the glass.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy is best for the highest price point due to the vintage aesthetic. eBay is best for a faster sale to collectors. Facebook Marketplace is ideal to avoid the high risk and cost of shipping heavy glass.
Selling Tips
Photograph against a clean white or light grey background to make the pink pop. Mention 'Grandmillennial' and 'Pink Depression Style' in keywords. If shipping, double-box everything and use ample bubble wrap between every single plate; 'plate-quakes' during shipping are the #1 cause of profit loss.
