Selling an abaya in Firozabad
Firozabad is India’s glass city, producing bangles and glassware for the whole country. Glass and decorative items appear here in a variety and at prices that exist nowhere else, and the local knowledge about them is genuine.
The glass trade keeps decorative items circulating locally at low prices. Chips and hairline cracks are the things to check, and they are much easier to see in daylight than in a photograph.
The manufacturing districts are dense and congested, and glass needs careful handling and packing rather than a quick handover. Agreeing how something will be wrapped is worth doing in advance.
Check glass in daylight for chips and hairline cracks, particularly at the rims and the base. Both are very easy to miss in a photograph and both substantially affect value.

Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
