  • Reproductions have a slightly weaker impression in the leaves and berries. 

 

  • The pattern in a  Reproduction example has a waviness in the berries and leaves, unlike the crisply detailed Original.

 

  • Originals are translucent when held to the light, similar to "Opalescent Glass".  While the Reproductions are missing characteristic, and appear more solid in the milk glass white colour.

 

  • Originals have only been found in clear and milk glass.  All other coloured examples are Reproductions.
