Description
Elegant champagne flute featuring a delicate white lace or filigree pattern around the bowl. The glass is accented with a classic gold-tone rim and features a slender, elongated stem. Perfect for weddings, celebrations, or vintage-style bar carts. Measures approximately 8-9 inches tall.
Key Features
Gold rim detailing, romantic lace/wedding aesthetic, high-visibility decorative pattern, fits the 'Grandmillennial' or 'Coquette' home decor trends.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely mass-produced rather than hand-etched crystal; lack of a maker's mark on the base suggests a mid-tier department store brand. Confidence: Medium.
Flaws to Note
Slight wear to the gold gilding on the rim from previous washing; minor shelf wear on the base. Not dishwasher safe.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (if vintage), eBay, or Facebook Marketplace. Better suited for local sales if sold as a single to avoid high shipping costs relative to value.
Selling Tips
Best sold as a matched set rather than a singleton. Use keywords like 'Lace Etched,' 'Gold Rim,' 'Wedding Toasting Flute,' and 'Hollywood Regency.' Photograph against a dark background to make the white lace pattern pop.
