Condition

Authenticity Indicators
Likely mass-produced giftware; no visible maker's mark. High confidence it is a standard retail item rather than a designer collectible.
Flaws to Note
Significant wear and fading on the gold-toned rims; the metallic finish is rubbing off in several places. This is a permanent cosmetic flaw.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local flea markets are best to avoid high shipping costs and breakage risks. Etsy is an option if listed as 'Vintage Style' hosting decor.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Regency' or 'Holiday' aesthetic. Since the gold is worn, consider marketing it for casual use or DIY restoration. Always use plenty of bubble wrap if shipping.
