Highly collectible 'June Night' pattern; clear lead crystal with resonant ring when tapped; elegant stem design #17358; discontinued mid-century luxury barware.

Flaws to Note
Potential for 'sick glass' (cloudiness) if cleaned in a dishwasher previously, though not visible here. Check for microscopic 'flea bites' on the rim by running a finger lightly along the edge. Some light surface scratches called 'shelf wear' may be on the bottom of the base.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for reaching international collectors. Etsy is a strong secondary choice for vintage home decor shoppers. Replacements, Ltd. may buy it, but at a lower wholesale price.
Selling Tips
Use keywords: 'Tiffin June Night', 'Etched Crystal', 'Cordial Glass', 'Vintage Stemware'. Highlight 'No Chips or Cracks' in the title. Photography should be done against a dark, solid background to show the white etching. Double-box for shipping to ensure it survives transit.
