Waterford stems at the GW

[tamrock]

Set of 8 Waterford 7.5" tall cut crystal stems for .99 cents each. Not sure what exact cut and pattern they are, but checking what Waterford's are doing it's possible I could make a couple hundred bucks out of these. Holidays aren't all that far off, so maybe I'll list them at the end of August or mid September? Not sure if I'll break them up or sell the compete set of 8?

I've sold the ones I have found in sets of 4, more people looking for 4 than sets of 8.

I think I found your pattern.

That sounds like a plan. Thanks Scott

Yeah they do appear to be the powerscourt pattern. That replacment.com is a great reference site. They only list a wine hock at 7.5" where the top is more of a globe shape. The ones I have are indeed 7.5" and I'm thinking they're a water glass.

Really nice find. So pardon my ignorance, but how did you know they are Waterford?
I have one candy dish I got at a thrift store, but I paid $40 for mine and it was clearly marked.

I generally can spot Waterford sitting on a shelf. These are all marked as in the 3rd image I posted.

Also bolo for Waterford dof or rocks whiskey glasses. Just sold a pair for $149.

Very nice lot. Good pick

Great find. IMO That’s a pro picker who gets valuable glass.

Yeah I always check out the glass for Waterford, Baccarat, Lalique and other signed art glass. Here's a 99 cent piece of Lalique I didn't buy. I left it for someone else who might not mind it had a big chip out of the base. Glass pieces are still considered not worth the time for the trift store sorting options as in jewelry by these big companies. This particular GW has nothing but costume jewelry or any sterling, because all the valuable pieces are sorted out at the big GW hub in Denver to be then listed on the GW website. Still there's are some other things to look out for.

Thank you! I didn't notice the hallmark. It's been a long time since I've been thrifting!

 

[JimDon]

At the Goodwill outlet they had a Waterford ice bucket probably could’ve got it for a dollar but I passed on it. I am done trying to ship glass.

Well done, congrats!

Now is the time to go, everyone cleared out their things at the same time and it is showing up everywhere. For example, I found four of these Starbucks expresso shot glasses for $1.79 this weekend, here is the sold price (not my auction) for two:

I found this teapot at a dealer booth that was going out of business for $5.99. Here is one just like it that recently sold:

The local Salvation Army store has me buying a cart full every time I go, two weeks ago my haul including Vice Presidential Air Force 2 glasses, a camp David mug and 10 various liqueur branded high ball glasses for .25 each.

I heard some of the Starbucks stuff can be a wanted collectible by some folks.
