Highly recognizable Wexford pattern, sturdy pedestal base, mid-century classic design, multi-functional (candy dish, planter, or dessert server).
Authenticity Indicators
Distinctive Wexford diamond texture and faceted 'diamond' shape on the stem. High confidence (95%) as this was a mass-produced staple line easily identified by mold design.
Flaws to Note
Potential 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the sharp diamond edges or rim; shelf wear scratches on the very bottom of the footed base.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy for collectors seeking specific replacements; Facebook Marketplace for local buyers looking for cheap holiday decor.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'EOCH', 'Diamond Point', and 'Mid-Century Modern'. Photograph against a solid dark background to catch the light in the facets. Wrap heavily in large-cell bubble wrap for shipping as the stem is a structural weak point.
