  • Reproductions are heavier, thicker (especially in the stem and base), the stippling is less defined and the stars are in higher relief.
  • The most recognizable identifying factor, is found in the stars.  On the originals, the stars are all larger at the top of the glass, and then graduate in size.  Where the reproduction stars are all equally the same size.  Look for this and you won't be fooled!

 

  • Original goblets measure 6" tall, where reproductions measure 6 1/4" in height.

 

  •  ALL COLOURED examples are Reproductions!
