Key Features
Highly collectible pattern with a massive existing fan base. Wexford glass is sought after for its durability and classic 'early American' aesthetic. Discontinued pattern.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern recognition: Wexford features two rows of small diamonds at the base, followed by larger diamonds. Authentic pieces are heavy and have visible seam lines from the mold. High Confidence.
Flaws to Note
Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) on the raised diamond points. Check for hard water deposits or dishwasher clouding inside the bottom.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (for national reach), Etsy (due to vintage status), or Facebook Marketplace for local sets to avoid shipping fragile glass.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage,' 'Wexford,' 'Diamond Point,' and 'Anchor Hocking.' If selling a single, target it as a 'replacement piece.' For shipping, wrap in thick bubble wrap and use a box at least 2 inches wider than the item on all sides.
