Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for glass collectors), or Facebook Marketplace (best if selling as a larger set to avoid shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Use the keywords 'Depression Style,' 'Frosted Rose,' and 'Cottagecore' in the title. Photograph against a dark background to make the frosted white rose pop. Ensure excellent padding for shipping as the handle is a high-stress point.
