  • DEPRESSION GLASS

    6:26 AM PST, 1/21/2012

    Recently I found 3 Pink Swirl Rosaline Water Wine Goblets Depression Glass's from France design Arcoroc in a thrift store. As to my amazement these where really nice and yes worth something. As I did my research I found that depression glass is very collectible especially the France designed Arcoroc. Well after paying a fraction of what they sold for on eBay I will be searching the thrift stores of my area for more Pink Swirl Rosaline Water Wine Goblets to sell on-line. Happy selling!
