Hello All!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my question. I am trying to find an outlet for a bunch of Bohemian Glass brought over by a family friend from the Czech Republic back… well a long time ago. It was my Grandfathers dad’s friend actually so we are talking like 1900 ish since my grandfather was born in 1919. Anyway pictures will be worth a thousand words but what i have, and what my question is… first a reasonable value i should expect to get for these pieces and second if ebay if the best place to sell. Or maybe Ruby lane but i doubt they would give me a fair market price.
I also have my own antique / art web-store but not enough traffic to get these in front off the right audience. Either way, I have (at least) 4 of these Cobalt Blue goblets that i’m not sure if it is Silver around the base or Pewter and then I have a set of 72 perfect Ruby cut to Clear. (6 different types of glass, 12 of each). What do you guys think.. value and best outlet?
Please see pictures. Thank you in advance.

That pattern is not what I would expect from early 1900`s !! Likely more 1960`s !! I understand you are going by the persons age but you can`t know when they were bought !! You can see from the link there are tons of this type glassware on the market !! It was created and sold in France, Germany as well as Bohemia/ Czechoslovakia or Czech Republic !! Much was imported to the U.S. !!
As far as selling them,,prices are all over the board !!For most stemware its better to sell them in sets of 6 !! Try Ebay first for the reason you mentioned,,more traffic !! If selling as a BIN List for about $69.99 !! Then reduce price if necessary !! Anyone wholikes retro decorating should love these !!
The little blue glasses with the made in Japan label,, maye $20. on a good day !! The metal is likely tin with a fine layer of silver plate !!
